Artifact Overview
In 1853 ten distinct rail lines merged to form the New York Central Railroad. The unification produced a single railway spanning the Empire State from Albany to Buffalo, by way of Syracuse and Rochester. NYC grew into one of the Northeast's largest railroads, with later extensions to Chicago and St. Louis. The company merged with the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968.
