The Newburgh & South Shore Railway Collection is a large body of archival records created by the Newburgh and South Shore Railroad, an industrial short line railroad in the flats of the Cuyahoga River, south of downtown Cleveland. The collection includes 600 cubic feet of materials: hundreds of rolled drawings showing track plans, valuation maps and facilities drawings. The Cleveland State University Library obtained these materials in October of 1997, thanks to the efforts of the N&SS railroad, the Cleveland Railroad History Society and the Fridrich-Warner Moving and Storage Company. We are pleased and proud to announce that the North American Railway Foundation has awarded us a grant of $69,000 to process this valuable collection of local transportation material. We thank Mr. Philip J. Sullivan II and the foundation board for their generosity and urge visitors to this site to check back in future months for improved access to information on the history of the N&SS RR.
