New York & Erie Railroad: America’s First Long-Line Trunk Railroad
Incorporated in 1832, the New York and Erie Railroad Company built the
first long-line trunk railroad in the United States.
The line stretched 446 miles from Piermont, New York on the Hudson River to
Dunkirk on Lake Erie.
Using a 6-foot broad-gauge system, the pioneering route was fully completed in 1851,
helping connect the Atlantic Ocean with the Great Lakes.
