Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Empire State Express was one of the named passenger trains and onetime flagship of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. It became the world's first high-speed passenger train on September 14, 1891, when it covered the 436 miles between New York City and Buffalo in just 7 hours and 6 minutes. The train averaged 61.4 miles-per-hour, a new world speed record in rail travel, with an officially recorded top speed of 82 mph, though observers claimed to have clocked the train at 112 mph.
