New York Pittsburgh and Chicago Railway was incorporated in 1881 in the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio from the predecessor lines under the Pittsburgh and Chicago Railway (1878). In 1885, the Pittsburgh, Marion & Chicago Railway Company was the successor to the New York, Pittsburgh, and Chicago Railway Company. 

The New York, Pittsburgh, and Chicago Railway Company, under the terms of an agreement dated May 7, 1881, agreed to construct for the company a standard-gage, single-track, steam railroad from Slippery Rock Creek, near Wurtemberg, to New Castle, Pa., 14.45 miles, to be conveyed to The Pittsburgh and Western Railroad Company upon completion.

The company consolidated July 18, 1881, with the New York, Pittsburgh and Chicago Railway Company (of Ohio) and the New York, Pittsburgh, and Chicago Railway Company (of Pennsylvania) to form the New York, Pittsburgh, and Chicago Railway Company.
