the same time the Newburgh, Dutchess, and Comiecticut branch of 

 the Central New England was shipping milk to New York City over 

 the Hudson River branch of the New York Central. A few years 

 later the New York, New Haven & Hartford was bringing milk from, 

 the New England States to supply the New York market. In 1870 

 the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western received small consignments 

 of milk on its Sussex branch in New Jersey, and in the same year the 

 New York, Ontario & Western started its first milk train from 

 Bloomingburg, N. Y. Practically aU of the railroads had their 

 farthest point from New York within the lOO-mile limit, except that 

 the Harlem was bringing milk from Rutland, Vt., a distance of 240^ 

 miles. There was very Httle change in the areas from which rmlk was 

 obtained until 1890. In that year the New York, Ontario & Western 

 extended its service to Walton, N. Y., a distance of 179 miles. Shortly- 

 after 1890 several other railroads started milk trains. The Lehigh 

 VaUey estabhshed this service with Dryden, N. Y., as a terminus. 

 In 1893 the Delaware & Hudson was receiving milk and forwardiog 

 it to New York City over the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western. In 

 1890 the West Shore extended its service beyond Albany, with 

 Syracuse as a starting point, and two years later the Hudson River 

 branch of the New York Central extended, its service to the same point. 

 By 1910 many of the points from which milk was shipped to New York 

 City were over 300 miles distant. There were no new railroads to 

 enter this service, but those already carrying milk had extended 

 their lines so that it was bounded by the Canadian boundary line on. 

 the north and within a short distance of Bufl^alo on the west.
