Delaware and Hudson Railway

The Delaware and Hudson Railway (D&H) was a historic American railroad company that operated primarily in the northeastern United States. Established in the 19th century, it transported passengers and freight, including coal, iron, and manufactured goods, across states like New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Known for connecting the coal-rich regions with markets and ports, D&H played a vital role in regional economic development. Over time, it merged with other railroads and faced industry changes, ultimately becoming part of larger transportation companies. Its legacy includes significant contributions to the development of freight and passenger rail services in the northeastern U.S.
