    The Main Line of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad extends from New York City to Buffalo, 440 miles, traversing the eastern and middle portions of the Empire State from the Atlantic Ocean to Lake Erie. It is the only rail-road, terminating at the harbor of New York, which reaches the Great Lakes over the territory of a single State, and is the only one having stations on Manhattan Island, or whose rails reach the waters of Long Island Sound. So much has already been said about the peculiarities of the Hudson River Division, that to detail them here would be superfluous. Leaving the Grand Central Station, in the centre of the city of New York, it passes over the most perfect urban tracks in America, crosses the Harlem River on an iron bridge, follows that stream and Spuyten Duyvil Creek, which forms the northern boundary of Manhattan Island, until it reaches the Hudson, where it joins the original tracks, extending along the river's bank to the heart of the business portion of the city, now used for freight trains and for local passentravel south of Spuyten Duyvil. Having escaped from the boundaries of the metropolis at Yonkers, it hugs closely the eastern shore of the American Rhine-through tunnels, piercing mountains, and over bridges spanning numerous streams-past cities, towns and villages, many of them celebrated over more than one continent-never practically deviating from the dead level of tide flow along its margin, until it crosses the mighty river and enters the capital of the State, 142 miles from its point of departure.
