The NYC system was the largest of the Eastern Trunk systems from the standpoint
of mileage, and second only to the Pennsylvania in revenue. It served most of
the industrial part of the country and its freight tonnage was exceeded only by
the coal carrying railroads. NYC and Pennsylvania merged in 1967 to form the Penn
Central. |
