NYC Michigan Central Trackside with Emery Gulash by Geoffrey Doughty

Famed photographer Emery Gulash takes us out on his home turf to photograph the ever-changing scene on the Michigan Central from 1940 up to the 1968 Penn Central merger.  This period spans  the NYC administrations of Gustav Metzman, William White, Robert Young, and Alfred Perlman.  Each successive administrator saw a more troubled company, despite outward appearances.  Emery provides insightful color images of these tenuous decades.  There is an emphasis on passenger trains, both steam and diesel, along with MC’s Rail Diesel Cars (RDC’s).  Lightening stripes predominate, but cigar bands are definitely in evidence.
