- The sign may be incorrect. The Mohawk and Hudson Railroad, became the first railroad chartered in New York State.[1]
The sign is not incorrect. If you read the Don Rittner literature, you learn the Albany Schenectady RR was indeed the first RR in the country to run a locomotive train on its rails. All earlier railroads ran horse-drawn trollies or were gravity trains. The first railroads were in ancient Rome 2000 years ago, but this addresses railroads that ran actual locomotive trains, not horse-drawn or gravity trains.
