When first introduced in 2002, this volume was a new
concept, a single book documenting a railroad’s physical plant in color. What a boon for railfans and model
railroaders alike. Passenger train
expert, and NYCSHS member Geoffrey Doughty presents a side of railroading often
ignored.
NYC fans, this may become your most-referred to
book. Your shopkeeper’s copy is almost
worn out, with ‘post-it’ notes all over.
