    New York State's first chartered railroad, created in the spring of 1826, even before the Baltimore & Ohio which would not exist for another year. However, it took the M&H a few years until financing was in order to begin building its route. The company maintained its original name for about 15 years until it was renamed in the 1840s to better reflect the cities that it served, Albany and Schenectady. The development of the M&H was to compete against the Erie Canal, which ran across the entire length of the state between Buffalo and New York City. Aside from the Mohawk & Hudson's historical operational significance it also hosted one of the first steam locomotives ever put to use in the United States, the DeWitt Clinton. The original M&H right-of-way is still in use by Class I CSX Transportation.
