A once-prominent American railroad that operated primarily in the northeastern and midwestern United States from 1853 to 1968. Known for its iconic streamlined art deco steam locomotives and the "Water Level Route," the New York Central connected major cities like New York City, Albany, Buffalo, Chicago, and Cleveland, providing essential passenger and freight services. The railroad played a significant role in the development of American infrastructure during the 19th and 20th centuries.
The central was a symbol of innovation and luxury, offering one of the most comfortable and sophisticated train services of its time. Famous for its opulent "20th Century Limited" passenger trains, the New York Central catered to the elite with first-class accommodations and speedy, reliable service. It was also notable for its sleek, streamlined trains that became a hallmark of American rail travel during the mid-20th century.
At its peak, the New York Central owned thousands of miles of track and operated a vast network of trains, but like many railroads, it struggled to compete with the rise of automobiles and air travel in the post-World War II era. In 1968, the New York Central merged with its rival the Pennsylvania Railroad to form the Penn Central Transportation Company, which later became notorious for its bankruptcy in the early 1970s.

Get the New York mug.People who cry SJW (social justice warrior) about everything that challenges their own point of view regarding race, culture, sexuality, and politics. The word "new" denotes that this is a fairly recent category of people who typically use the term "snowflake" to describe "triggered" and "overly sensitive" people, despite behaving this way themselves for fairly trivial issues.
After being corrected about how saying "Ni hao" (hello in Chinese) to a Korean woman is inappropriate because you should not assume someone's ethnicity before trying to talk to them in a different language, the new snowflake cried out in a fit of rage that "SJWS are so dumb!! I bet you guys cannot tell the difference between Polish and Germans!"
"Oh my god, you SJWs are never happy," said the new snowflake, enraged that anyone would dare to comment on how plus sized models do not depict normal figures, forgetting that all models generally have bodies that do not represent the average figure.
