Vanderbilt Railroads |
LEgacy of the Commodore
Long live the Commodore!
Vanderbilt Railroads is sad to announce the death of its beloved leader, Cornelius Vanderbilt, on January 4, 1877. He died in his New York City home and was 82 years of age. As a company, we have decided to continue the vision of travel by rail that Vanderbilt began, and fulfill his plans for the future. We will continue to expand our railroads and tirelessly work to provide our customers with an increasing standard of service. This page is frequently updated to show how Vanderbilt's work continues to touch society:
