The railroad connected greater New York and Boston in the east with Chicago and St. Louis in the Midwest, along with the intermediate cities of Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, and Syracuse. In 1968, the NYC merged with its former rival, the Pennsylvania Railroad, to form Penn Central. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this travel poster! Also note that the Castleton Cut-Off was an extensive expansion project which was authorized by Alfred H. Smith, the president of New York Central Railroad at the time. It involved the building of a bridge spanning the Hudson River, which was eventually named in honor of Smith who died in a horse-riding accident in Central Park in 1924, prior to the completion of the bridge in that same year.
