The modern New York Central Railroad map was a collection of predecessor properties which merged or were acquired over many years. The earliest component was one of the industry's pioneers, the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad. The M&H was incorporated on April 17, 1826, although as early as December 28, 1825 the local public was given word it was soon t...
Despite transporting predominantly only passengers early on the Mohawk & Hudson did relatively well and is even credited with operating the first covered freight car, the boxcar, in 1833 (essentially a covered gondola) while it also placed the first steam locomotive into service when the DeWitt Clinton, an American-built 0-4-0 model, entered servic...
According to Mike Schafer and Brian Solomon's book, "New York Central Railroad," the state discontinued canal tolls on these railroads during December of 1851. The results were nearly instantaneous as profits soared. A few years prior to this event, merger talks had already been launched between the group as they understood the benefits of a unifie...
The NY&H, originally operated as a horse-drawn system, had been incorporated on April 25, 1831 to open service on the east side of New York's Manhattan Island from the downtown region to the uptown community of Harlem. It reached as far as Fordham, in the Bronx, in 1841 and then pushed far beyond the city over the next few years when it opened to C...
The Commodore'sacquisition could not have arrived at a better time as the New York region's population was exploding and the railroad now boasted a through route to Buffalo. He expanded its presence across the city and then eyed a western extension. In another move that could be described as somewhat manipulative, Vanderbilt gained control of what ...
The Commodore'sdeath did not slow the Central's expansion as it attempted to keep up with a system proving itself a noteworthy competitor, the Pennsylvania Railroad. Its last great addition was the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway, better known as simply the "Big Four." The history of this system could fill a book by itself but in...
The P&LE opened for service in 1879 to Youngstown, Ohio and was quickly eyed by the LS&MS. At around the same time the NYC&HR pushed into the coalfields of central Pennsylvania via the Beech Creek Railroad and ownership of the the Fall Brook Coal Company. The Central would eventually operate an "inside gateway" through this region; branching from L...
While NYC's electrification projects were not nearly as prolific as rival Pennsylvania’s, the railroad did have expansive operations in and around the New York City region as well as short segments in Cleveland and Detroit. Also, all of the Central’s electrified lines were built to satisfy particular city ordinances, most notably in New York, and t...
By the turn of the 20th century the NYC&HR was largely in place. To streamline the organization, all of the properties except for the Boston & Albany, Michigan Central, and Big Four were merged on December 22, 1914 into the second New York Central Railroad. Although not quite as large as rival Pennsylvania the NYC was a formidable competitor and re...
While the Central had a large and exquisite passenger fleet its flagship was without doubt the New York-Chicago 20th Century Limited. Arguably the most regal passenger train ever created the Limitedwas adorned in grays, silvers, and whites while ushering in the Art Deco era of interior design. It was streamlined in 1938 (and one could only hope to ...
