The Albany Institute of History & Art in Albany, New York, recently shared an artwork commissioned by the New York Central System. The poster was created to promote the "New" Empire State Express, a luxury streamliner train designed by Henry Dreyfuss and manufactured by the American Locomotive Company in Schenectady. The train traveled between New York, Buffalo, Detroit, and Cleveland, with individual cars named after New York governors. The painting portrays the train's last cars crossing the Hudson Highlands and the Bear Mountain Bridge. Sadly, the debut of the "New" Empire State Express on December 7, 1941, coincided with the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
