This document contains original handwritten entries in a stock transfer ledger for the New York Central Rail-Road Company from the 1860s.

By the late 1860s, Cornelius Vanderbilt acquired control of the company, further expanding it through mergers with his other rail lines. Historical Significance With original print and signatures, these are highly collectible. Papers are delicate and aged.
