The Delaware and Hudson Canal was the first venture of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company which would later build the Delaware and Hudson Railway. Between 1828 and 1899 the canal’s barges carried anthracite coal from the mines of Northeastern Pennsylvania to the Hudson River and thence to market in New York City. Construction of the canal involved some major feats of civil engineering and led to the development of some new technologies particularly in rail transport.
