The New York and Putnam Railroad (nicknamed Old Put) was the final name for a railroad line heading north from New York City, between the Hudson River Railroad and the New York and Harlem Railroad. It became part of the New York Central system in 1894, was abandoned beginning in 1958, and has since been converted into a series of rail trails.
