Despite the title of this brochure, it isn’t a guide to New York City but a guide to getting to and from the city on the Baltimore & Ohio rather than some other railroad. The B&O didn’t go into New York City; in fact, it hardly went into New Jersey. Instead, at various times in history it used tracks of the Pennsylvania or Central of New Jersey railroads to make it to the Hudson River. From 1918 to 1926, its trains went straight to Penn Station in Manhattan, but PRR evicted it and it was forced to terminate at the Jersey Central terminal in Jersey City.

From New Jersey, B&O passengers could take a ferry into Manhattan. As described in this 1947 booklet, B&O had buses at trackside that would take passengers on the ferry and then head into midtown Manhattan. As shown on the maps on today’s 1937 brochure, there were four bus routes, two from ferries landing at Liberty Street, near the site of today’s World Trade Center, and two from ferries landing at 23rd Street.

From Liberty Street one route went up Lafayette Street and Fourth Avenue to 42nd Street, a block away from Grand Central Terminal. The other crossed the Brooklyn Bridge and circulated to some hotels and offices in Brooklyn. From the 23rd Street landing one route went up 23rd and then 7th Avenue to 33rd, and then by the Empire State Building. The other route went to Columbus Circle near Central Park. B&O hoped that giving passengers more destinations than just Penn Station would make it more competitive with PRR.
Notice how the cover slyly implies that the Empire State Building is within a few blocks of B&O’s train when in fact the right side of the cover really represents the bus in Manhattan while the left side is the bus in Jersey City. The cute little buses in the brochure were apparently made by White with a custom streamlined body for the B&O. The same buses appear in the 1947 booklet suggesting the B&O hadn’t had the opportunity, or the revenues, to replace them so soon after World War II.
