They dropped out pre-1929, leaving the largest station, by far, on the road...

They started as just another PA coal hauler, their name came from their origanal plan to expand south and east to Delaware and the Hudson river. They did get to the Hudson River, but they realized they could be a bigger presense in upstate NY, because at the time we just had some little, unconnected railroads. They soon became "our" railroad. Later, they aquired track to other places like DC and trackage rights during the creation of Conrail. Vendors at train shows try to sell me NYC locomotives, they either need to do their history, or are just trying to rip me off. Just because I am not an adult doesn't mean I am dumb about railroad history. And don't get me started about Guilford...
