New York Central Railroad operated in the Northeastern US from 1831 until 1968 when it merged with rival Pennsylvannia Railroad to become Penn Central only to go bankrupt and become one of the fallen flags salvaged by the US Congress under Conrail.

The NYC route from from New York City to upstate New York was known as the "Water Level Route" because it ran along Hudson River, Erie Canal, and Lake Erie. This was also the first long-distance four-track railroad in the world.
