Biographical History
The Northwest System of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Lines West organization was created on March 1, 1890, being generally synonymous with the lines operated by the Pennsylvania Company. It consisted of the main line between Pittsburgh and Chicago via Crestline and branches to Erie, Ashtabula, Cleveland and Toledo and was further broken down into the Eastern, Western, Erie & Ashtabula, Toledo and Cleveland & Pittsburgh Divisions. The Toledo Division was ceded to the Central System upon its creation in 1912. The Northwest System was abolished on March 1, 1920, and its territory divided between the Central and Northwestern Regions.
The General Superintendent was the chief line officer of the Operating Dept. on the Northwest System, reporting to the General Manager-Lines West. He was responsible for all activities on the System. The incumbents were Charles Watts (1890-1901); A. M. Schoyer (1902-1912); E. T. Whiter (1913-1915); and W. C. Downing (1915-1920).
