New York, Central & Hudson River Railroad $1,000 stock gold bond certificate

The bond is unusual in that it is payable in the Gold Coin of the United States upon maturity in 1998. The Troy and Greenbush Railroad was chartered in 1845 and opened later that year, connecting Troy south to East Albany on the east side of the Hudson River. The Hudson River Railroad was chartered May 12. 1846, to extend this line south to New York City; the full line opened October 3, 1851. Prior to completion, on June 1, the Hudson River leased the Troy and Greenbush. Cornelius Vanderbilt obtained control of the ... moreHudson River Railroad in 1864. Soon after he bought the parallel New York and Harlem Railroad, and merged the line into the New York Central Railroad. The certificate is in EXCELLENT condition for its age and has the normal punch cancellation/staple holes. Nice looking certificate and is a great conversation piece of a famous company.

Canadian National Railroad $1,000 stock bond certificate collectible for framing
Beautifully engraved and authentic $1.000 bond certificate from the Canadian National Railway Company issued on November 15, 1976. This is an original certificate, not a copy or reproduction. The certificate has an attractive vignette of a locomotive pulling freight cars along a track. The bond is written in both English and French. Like many modern corporations, Canadian National Railways was the result of the merging of a large number of smaller and older companies whose operations were combined over the years to form a more complex transportation system. The railway can trace it's history through more than 200 separate companies and as far back as 1836 with the opening of the first public railway in Canada, the Champlain& St. Lawerence Railroad. The Canadian Government formed Canadian National Railway to solve a financial and transportation ... morecrisis arising from a railway boom in the period following 1900. Between 1900 and 1916 railway mileage in Canada increased from over 27,000 to 77,760 kilometers as railway companies expanded their lines in eastern and western Canada. The Canadian National Railway Company is a Canadian Class I Railroad headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. CN is the largest railway in Canada, in terms of both revenue and the physical size of its rail network, and is currently Canada's only transcontinental railroad company, spanning Canada from the Atlantic coast in Nova Scotia to the Pacific coast in British Columbia. Following CN's purchase of Illinois Central and a number of smaller US railways it also has extensive trackage in the central United States along the Mississippi River valley from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Today CN owns approximately 20.400 route miles of track in 8 provinces(the only two not served by CN are Newfoundland Labrador and Prince Edward Island, as well as a 70-mile stretch of track into the Northwest Territories to Hay River on the southern shore of Great Slave Lake it is the northernmost rail line anywhere within the North American Rail N
