Hartford and New Haven Railroad Company; Capital Stock Certificate, February 1870 issuing 14 Shares. Lith. Of Bingham, Dodd and Co., Hartford. Cancelled, Fine
The first line of the original system to open was the Hartford and New Haven Railroad, opened from Hartford to New Haven, with steamship connections to New York in 1839, and to Springfield, with rail connections to Worcester and Boston, in 1844. The New York and New Haven was built later, as it ran parallel to the Long Island Sound coast and required many bridges over rivers. It opened in 1848, using trackage rights over the New York and Harlem Railroad (later part of the New York Central Railroad system) from Woodlawn in the Bronx area south to New York. From 1913 on, Grand Central Terminal served as the New Haven's New York City terminal.
