West Shore Railroad Company was a major competitor and rival of Cornelius Vanderbilt’s New York Central. During the late 1800’s, Cornelius Vanderbilt’s New York Central (NYC) was the king of the rails, from New York City to Buffalo. However in the early 1880s, a group of investors (backed by Vanderbilt's rival, the Pennsylvania Railroad) built the West Shore Railway Co.
They didn't just build a competing line; they built it directly parallel to Vanderbilt’s tracks.
