New York, Pennsylvania, and Norfolk Railroad : ウィキペディア英語版
New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad
The New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad was a railroad line that ran down the spine of the Delmarva Peninsula connecting Wilmington, Delaware and Cape Charles, Virginia and then by ferry to Norfolk, Virginia. It became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad system.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.norfolkhistory.com/ngnypnrrhist.htm )
==History==

The NYP&N was the vision of William Lawrence Scott an Erie, Pennsylvania coal magnate, who wanted to build a shorter railroad route between the coal wharfs of Hampton Roads by utilizing a ferry line across the Chesapeake Bay and a railroad line up the Eastern Shore to the industrial north.〔
〕 Scott enlisted engineering help from Pennsylvania Railroad Vice-President, Alexander J. Cassatt, who saw the merits of the plan and took a hiatus 〔In 1899 Casssatt returned to PRR as its 7th President.〕 from PRR to work on the new line. Cassatt surveyed the line on horseback, designed ferries and wharfs, acquired other railroads, most notably Eastern Shore Railroad (1853), and the line was ready for operation in 1884. The line was financed by many PRR interests and was officially merged into the PRR in 1921.〔Staufer, Alvin F., Edson, D. William, and Harley, E. Thomas. Pennsy Power lll. Staufer.
