Baltimore and Ohio Short Line Railroad[edit]

The Baltimore and Ohio Short Line Railroad was the successor to the Pittsburgh Southern Railway, and a subsidiary of the B&O Railroad, and was organized as a legal entity 25 Februrary, 1885. The railroad was a link in the attempt of the B&O to serve the Pittsburgh market, and became part of the Wheeling Division of that railroad. It was constructed by gauge conversion of the former 3 foot gauge railway to standard gauge and the building of the Whitehall Tunnel. It ran from Glenwood Junction to Washington, Pennsylvania, a distance of 34 miles. ^[1]
