The Empire State Express was one of the named passenger trains and onetime flagship of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. It became the world's first high-speed passenger train on September 14, 1891, when it covered the 436 miles between New York City and Buffalo in just 7 hours and 6 minutes. The train averaged 61.4 miles-per-hour, a new world speed record in rail travel, with an officially recorded top speed of 82 mph, though observers claimed to have clocked the train at 112 mph.
