Description: The Boston & Albany Railroad (B&A) was a regional carrier connecting the cities of Boston, Massachusetts and Albany, New York; its trackage was primarily in Massachusetts, with a small amount of the railroad in eastern New York State. The railroad was later acquired by the New York Central (NYC), which subsequently merged with the Pennsylvania Railroad to form Penn Central; its trackage conveyed to Conrail when the Penn Central became a part of that entity. Surviving B&A components are now primarily owned by CSX Transportation, and both Amtrak and the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority operate passenger and commuter trains over former B&A rails. For auction is a capital stock certificate from the B&A dated November 15, 1894, for 8 shares. 1894 B&A Boston & Albany Railroad --capital stock certificate - New York Central Click images to enlarge Description The Boston & Albany Railroad (B&A) was a regional carrier connecting the cities of Boston, Massachusetts and Albany, New York; its trackage was primarily in Massachusetts, with a small amount of the railroad in eastern New York State.
