The New York Central Railroad, known simply as the New York Central in its publicity, was a railroad operating in the Northeastern United States. It was formed in 1853 by the merger of 10 regional railroads. Headquartered in New York, the railroad served most of the Northeast, including extensive trackage in the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Massachusetts, plus additional trackage in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Québec. Its primary connections included Chicago and Boston. The NYC's Grand Central Terminal in New York City is one of its best known extant landmarks. In 1968 the NYC joined with its former rival Pennsylvania Railroad to become Penn Central but the new company went bankrupt soon after (Ref. 3),
