Nickel Plate Road


The biggest was the Wheeling & Lake Erie. The NKP absorbed lots of other smaller lines. The best place to get this information is the Nickel Plate Historical Society at http://nkphts.org/.
 
Looks like the list below all ended up together by the end of 1964 in one form of a merger or another.
  • Lake Erie and Western
  • St. Louis & Western (Clover Leaf)
  • Wheeling & Lake Erie
  • Norfolk & Western
  • Wabash
  • Pennsy's Sandusky Line
  • Akron, Canton & Youngstown
  • Pittsburgh & West Virginia
 
I'm seeing this:
10-16-1964 NYC&STL (New York, Chicago & St.Louis - 'Nickle Plate
Road') merged into N&W, WAB (Wabash) & P&WV (Pittsburg & West
Virginia) leased by N&W, and N&W gains control of AC&Y (Akron, Canton
& Youngstown).
