The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company

Location and General Description of Property

The railroad of The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company, herein called the carrier, is situated in the States of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York. The carrier's lines are standard gage throughout, 58 per cent of the mileage being single track, about 37 per cent double track, and about 5 per cent four track. An important terminal section of the road between New Rochelle, N.Y., and Harlem River (Willis Avenue and One hundred thirty-third Street), New York City, about 12 miles in length, is laid with six tracks. The railroad is steam operated, with the exception of about 169.7 miles, which is equipped for electrical operation. The operated property is a network of tracks covering the States of Connecticut, Rhode Island, southern and southeastern Massachusetts, and extending into southeastern New York. The principal termini are New York City and Boston.

The carrier wholly owns 1,250.227 miles of road, of which it uses 1,215.067 miles and leases 35.160 miles to other carriers. It also wholly uses 751.158 miles of road owned by its lessors and described hereinafter in the reports on those companies. The carrier wholly owns and uses 2,604.340 miles of all tracks, wholly owns but does not use 90.715 miles of all tracks, and wholly uses but does not own 1,796.800 miles of all tracks. It also jointly uses but does not own 1.152 miles of all tracks. These tracks are classified according to ownership and use and by States in the trackage table in Appendix 1. In that appendix, also, is given further description of the properties operated by the carrier.

Corporate History

The carrier was formed as a consolidation of the Hartford and New Haven Railroad Company and the New York and New Haven Railroad Company on August 6, 1872, with a principal office at New Haven, Conn., under a law of incorporation of Connecticut passed July 26, 1871, and of Massachusetts, passed April 5, 1872. These acts gave authority to the Hartford and New Haven Railroad Company "to sell, transfer, merge, and consolidate its corporate rights, powers, and estate to, into and with" the New York and New Haven Railroad Company. On May 17, 1893, "the stockholders of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company" were made a corporation by that name in Rhode Island.

The following chart shows the titles of the corporations, the respective dates of incorporation, and for each predecessor the date of succession, the immediately succeeding corporation, and the manner of succession. Reference to each of these corporations is made in the last column by its respective number shown in the first column.

A special law of Connecticut, approved June 14, 1889, gave authority for the issue of stock by the carrier, in exchange for the stock of any railroad company whose property was held by the carrier under lease for a term as long as 50 years. All of the properties now owned, which have been merged or purchased by the carrier, have been held under lease except those of the four small companies owning terminal or water-front property in New Haven, two companies owning wharf and terminal property in Boston, the terminal property at Providence, and that of the Newport and Wickford Railroad and Steamboat Company. The various mergers and purchases were effected as shown In the above schedule.

The carrier acquired certain rights and properties of The Consolidated Railway Company, The Torrington and Winchester Street Railway Company, The Meriden, Southampton and Compounce Tramway Company, The Village Water Company of Suffield, The Stafford Springs Street Railway Company, and The Farmington Street Railway Company, which owned, leased, and operated urban and interurban electric railways, gas and electric lighting plants, water and power plants, and steamships and wharf property used in the operation thereof. The physical properties of these six companies have been sold, but the carrier is liable for various mortgages and other debts assumed, and may have some franchise or other rights originally enjoyed by these companies or their predecessors, but not conveyed with the physical property when sold by the carrier. For these reasons they are included in the corporate succession.
