Pennsylvania Lines West of Pittsburgh. Southwest System. Office of General Superintendent.
Biographical notes:
The Southwest System of the Lines West organization, the equivalent of a grand division on Lines East, was created on March 1, 1890, as the designation for the lines owned and operated by the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway Company. It comprised the lines running from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis, with branches to Cincinnati, Louisville, and to Chicago via Logansport. The Southwest System was abolished on March 1, 1920, with the end of the separate Lines West organization, and its territory was divided between the Central and Southwestern Regions. The headquarters of the Southwest System was located at Columbus.
The General Superintendent was the chief line officer of the Southwest System, intermediate between the division superintendents and the Lines West General Manager in Pittsburgh. He monitored all aspects of Operating Dept. functions on the system. The incumbents of the office were: John F. Miller (1890-1900), George L. Peck (1901), Ralph Peters (1901-1905), R. E. McCarty (1905-1917) and I. W. Greer (1917-1920).
