About this map

The Albany region and its vital rail corridors are documented here just before the mid-century, showing a landscape defined by industrial infrastructure and expanding commuter settlements. The massive Selkirk Yards anchor the rail network in Bethlehem, while the New York Central and Hudson River RR and Delaware and Hudson RR converge on the city. To the west, the Helderberg Mountains rise abruptly, featuring the protected grounds of John Boyd Thacher Park.
