* Greenbush & Nassau Electric Railway, an electric railway from Kinderhook and Hudson to Rensselaer and Albany The line was completed and inaugurated in November 1900 as the first third-rail interurban line in the United States. Due to financial difficulties it was reorganized in 1902 as the Albany and Hudson Railroad (not Railway), and again in 1909 as the Albany Southern Railroad. In 1924, the line was taken over by Eastern New York Utilities Corp until being decommissioned in 1929.
