ALLURING AND PICTURESQUE 
WESTCHESTER COUNTY 
That the population of New York City will very soon reach five millions, with a 
relatively large growth in the population of Westchester County during the same period, 
there can be no question. The continually increasing congestion of the residence districts 
of the great city must naturally prove a tremendous incentive to the most desirable class 
of people to seek and take advantage of the wonderful opportunities afforded home- 
seekers by the development of satisfactory transportation facilities between the business 
and manufacturing districts of the city and the attractive suburban territory in West¬ 
chester County. 
With the opening of the New York, Westchester & Boston Railway in the near 
future, the home-seeker who desires to dwell amid healthful and attractive surroundings, 
will no longer be restricted to the old-fashioned commuter opportunities and facilities 
afforded by steam railroads, to which commuter business is necessarily a secondary con¬ 
sideration. They will be enabled to reach distant points in a short time and at frequent 
intervals, as the trains will be operated on short headway and in direct connection with 
all of the subways at present existing and yet to be built, as well as with the several 
elevated lines, and will give both express and local service with an up-to-date transfer 
system between its express and local trains, affording its patrons the necessary accommo¬ 
dations to enable them to reach any destination desired in the shortest possible 
space of time. 
Large sections of the most picturesque and desirable parts of Westchester County are 
being brought within quick commuting distance by the building of this road, and the 
management of the road, through its Bureau of Information and Department of Real 
Estate, is working in harmony with the real estate interests along its line and offering 
every possible encouragement for the building of homes and the development of the ter¬ 
ritory traversed by it. The road itself is the finest example of up-to-date railroad 
engineering and construction in the United States. Its roadway and structures are of the 
highest type. Its stations are artistic in appearance, marvels of convenience in arrange¬ 
ment, and hygienic in construction. The road will be equipped with the latest type of 
steel cars, so arranged that the smallest possible amount of time will be consumed in 
receiving and discharging passengers. Everything in connection with the building and 
equipping of this high-class rapid transit line is being done with an eye single to the safety 
and comfort of its patrons and to the end that the service given them will be in every 
way satisfactory and the best attainable by human ingenuity in the evolution of the 
problems of transportation. 
Fortune and happiness wait on opportunity. For the opportunity consult the
