Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Company was an American transportation company that oversaw construction of the first tunnel from New Jersey to Manhattan.[1]

William Gibbs McAdoo was President and Charles M. Jacobs was chief engineer. Having taken over a failed attempt by DeWitt Haskin, they completed the work in 1908. The tunnels are now controlled by the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) system.
