The New York and Harlem today is but a footnote to railroad history.

Metro North would be surprised to hear that, since trains run daily along the Harlem Division. :o)

My 1st home is home. My 2nd home is church. My 3rd home is work. My 4th home is Grand Central Terminal.

Grand Central Terminal, almost done c. 1913

42nd St. runs along the right side of the picture, Vanderbilt Ave. along the left. The awning above the corner entrance would become my smoking spot a few decades later. :o)

True, but the NY & Harlem lost its independence, while the New Haven hung on. People remember the New Haven, but only true railfans remember the Harlem line as an independent entity.
