BY SPECIAL REQUEST, FROM THE ARCHIVES OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, SOL GLUCK COLLECTION, THE 20TH CENTURY LIMITED

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Croton may very well be a “dam” town  but it also was—and is—a railroad town. 

Courtesy of The Croton-on-Hudson Historical Society’s extensive railroad archives and the Sol Gluck collection, comes a promotional brochure from 1948 for the NEW 20th CENTURY LIMITED, an express passenger train operated by the New York Central Railroad from 1902 to 1967, during which time it would become known as a "National Institution" and the "Most Famous Train in the World".
