Description
The Delaware and Hudson Canal Company was created to access the coal resources and transport them to New York City. This work is a survey to improve the canal operations by building a railroad into the interior of the coal region to improve access and lower costs of moving coal to New York. This hybrid approach would lead to the construction of one of the first railroads in the United States.
