Does anyone have any info on these two railroads. I know they both offered excursions and the equipment from the West Shore eventually ended up on the Lewisburg and Buffalo Creek.

The West Shore started in late 1982/early 1983 as the "rescue" of the former PRR Lewisburg & Tyrone segment between Montandon and Mifflinburg, Pa., the line west of Mifflinburg having been abandoned in the 1960s. The shareholders of this private purchase included a feed mill in Mifflinburg and a couple well-to-do railfans, including the late Richard Sanders. In a sense, this was both a freight traffic preservation effort and a rail history project. Conrail eventually wanted to retreat from the former Reading main line south of West Milton (which served a feed mill at Winfield, its terminus after 1976), and the West Shore stepped in to acquire that line as well. eventually installing a better connecting track at the former PRR/RDG diamond in Lewisburg and abandoning the bridge to Montandon, selling (for a good price) the right of way to the bridge to the borough for a street.

Neither the freight traffic on either line nor the passenger excursion traffic ever amounted to anything substantial, and eventually the entirety of the Mifflinburg line was abandoned and sold to a local recreational authority for a rail trail. The ex-Reading line now continues as the Union County Industrial Railroad, with as far as I know the feed mill at Winfield its sole customer below West Milton.

The "Lewisburg & Buffalo Creek" was, as far as I know, simply a typical corporate separation of business actions on paper, and a paint scheme that was put on the SW8 that's now Strasburg 8613.

I think further details can be divined in a thorough search of this forum.
