	New York Central - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about New York Central (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The small lines across central New York from which the New York Central was created were built to rival the Erie Canal, and had demonstrated the efficiency of rail as an alternative to barge transport.
		The Central originally linked Buffalo and Albany, and connected in the east with two lines running south to New York City – the New York and Harlem (1831; via Chatham) and the Hudson River Railroad (1846; via Hudson, Poughkeepsie, and Peekskill); these later became branches of its system.
		The Central long dominated New York City rail traffic, as the Pennsylvania and Erie railroads and other competitors had to run a ferry service to the city from their termini in New Jersey.
