On January 12, 1894 the New York and Putnam Railroad was reorganized to allow J. P. Morgan to buy the line. The purchase was made on January 15, and the NY&P was leased to the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad on February 1. On March 7, 1913 the NY&P was merged into the NY&HR, becoming its Putnam Division. Passengers could transfer at High Bridge to the Hudson Division (the Spuyten Duyvil and Port Morris Railroad) to reach Grand Central Terminal or continue to the 155th Street terminal.
The southern part of the line, from Sedgwick Avenue (the terminal since the sale of the West Side & Yonkers trackage) to Van Cortlandt and the Yonkers Branch from Van Cortlandt to Getty Square, was electrified in 1926. This part of the line was sometimes treated as part of the NYC Electric Division. May 29, 1958 - Last passenger service on the Putnam Division.
