The New York Central Railroad was one of the most influential railroads in American history, operating from 1853 until its 1968 merger with the Pennsylvania Railroad to form Penn Central. Headquartered in New York City, the NYC was known for its premier route between New York and Chicago, famously called the “Water Level Route” due to its efficient, flat-grade alignment.
