Hide Profile

The Delaware and Hudson Railway Company originated as the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company in 1823. The company gradually expanded and by the turn of the century became a transportation empire, serving most of northern and central New York State. The company operated canals, steamboat lines, and an extensive rail network stretching from central Pennsylvania to the Canadian border and westward to Binghamton N.Y. The Delaware and Hudson Railway Company was officially formed in the early twentieth century and, similiar to most railroads suffered from the development of the automobile and trucking industry. The D. & H. is currently a small, private railway serving the upstate N.Y. region.
