Henry Alfred Bishop (December 4, 1860, Bridgeport, Connecticut – 1934) was superintendent and vice-president of several Eastern railroads, as well as other corporations.
Although he attended Yale University along with the class of 1884, he never graduated and instead went to work as a general ticket agent for the Naugatuck Railroad.
Note-In 1847, Alfred Bishop, G. L. Schuyler and S. G. Miller entered in a contract to build the New York Bridgeport, RR following route laid out by Prof Twining which ended up costing $2,701,879.13.
Fares were low: $1.50 from New Haven to New York, and fifty cents from Bridgeport on account of the steamboat competition.
Bishop was a member of the Episcopal Church, as well as holding membership or leadership positions in several fraternal or service organizations, such as the Sons of the American Revolution, the Society of Colonial Wars, the Bridgeport Scientific and Historical Society, the Freemasons (32°) and the Knights Templar.
