    Growing up east of the Hudson River with only the Harlem and Hudson Divisions, I didn't realize the B-4 covered so much territory. Thanks for this.

    What year? See the various old predecessor companies listed, I am guessing c.1890-1900?

    Hmm, I thought I put a post on here last night, agreeing with Hank, as a back east Mohawk and Hudson Division person, I had no idea how much territory the NY Central had in "Lines West," and thanked you for posting that very interesting map, Roger. I keep thinking I have posted the reply because it shows up under the previous posts. Sometimes I forget to hit the "Post Reply" button. Does anyone else experience this or is it just because of my old age?

    Jim, some people suffer from HIV, or AIDS, or HEP-C, all treatable. Unfortunately thee-n-me suffer from AGE, which the medical community believes to be fatal. However, I'm going eat ice cream first because I don't know what might happen next and I want to be safe.......:eek:
