The New York Elevated Railroad Company was established on October 27, 1872, as a reorganization of the West Side Patented Elevated Railway Company, the pioneering attempt at building an elevated rapid transit line. It was operated under the auspices of financier and railroad magnate Jay Gould (1836-1892), who had gained control of several elevated railway lines in New York during the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
