“To reduce the territory covered by the General Superintendant of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad will hereafter be operated in two grand divisions. All lines east of Willimantic and New London compromising the Boston. Providence and Old Colony Divisions will be known as the Eastern Grand Division. All those lines west of those points, compromising the Midland, Western and present Shore Line divisions, will hereafter be known as the Western Grand Division. The present Shore Line division is divided and a new division covering the main line west of New Haven and the Danbury and New Canaan branches is created to be known henceforth as the New York Division, with headquarters at Harlem River. The Shore Line division will cover the lines between New Haven and Springfield and New Haven and New London, including the Northampton Branch.”
