Railroads 

 Three lines of the New York Central extend through the entire 

 length of Westchester County from north to south. The Hudson 

 River division between New York and Albany lies near the river 

 on the west. The other two lines center at Brewster in Putnam 

 County, from which point the Harlem division extends south to 

 New York and north alone; the eastern border of the state. This 

 road makes connections at Brewster with the New York, New 

 Haven and Hartford. From Goldens Bridge in the town of 

 Somers a short line runs northwest to Lake Mahopa'c, thus making 

 connections between the two New York Central lines passing 

 through the center of Westchester County. New York City is 

 reached by two additional railroads, each electrically operated, 

 extending through the southern part of the county. Of these, 

 one is a section of the New York, New Haven and Hartford and 

 runs within a short distance of the Sou-nd, extending into 

 Connecticut. 



Elcxtric Roads 

 A network of electric roads covers the southern part of the 

 county, four of which reach to White Plains, one continuing to 

 Tarrvtown. A short road runs between Ossining and Claremont. 

 Two additional lines serve the northwestern part, the first extend- 

 ing from Peekskill to Putnam Valley, and the second from Ver- 

 planck on the river through Peekskill to Mohegan Lake.
