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 News Dilation mug.New hotness is a term for sliding a "new/hot" actor into a role that doesn't actually find them, or a director being able to direct a film with very little experience in the genre.
Tommy Lee Jones as "Two-Face" in "Batman Forever" is my go-to example. He was just coming off of a powerhouse performance in "The Fugitive" and they capitalized off of the power of new hotness.
Look around, once you see it, you will find it everywhere.
