New York Central and Hudson River ,000 Gold Bond '30s

Description

Bright Orange ,000 Registered Gold bond.  Beautiful.
The Hudson River Railroad was chartered
May 12
,
1846
to extend this line south to
New York City
; the full line opened
October 3
,
1851
. Prior to completion, on
June 1
, the Hudson River leased the Troy and Greenbush.
Cornelius Vanderbilt
obtained control of the Hudson River Railroad in 1864, soon after he bought the parallel
New York and Harlem Railroad
.
Along the line of the Hudson River Railroad, the
High Line
was built in the 1930s in
New York City
as an elevated bypass to the existing
street running
trackage on
Eleventh Avenue
, at the time called "Death Avenue" due to the large number of accidents involving trains. The elevated section has since been abandoned, and the tunnel to the north, built at the same time, is used only by
Amtrak
trains to
New York Penn Station
(all other trains use the
Spuyten Duyvil and Port Morris Railroad
to access the
New York and Harlem Railroad
). A surviving section of the
High Line
, in the Chelsea section of Manhattan, is currently under development as a linear park.
