The tour starts on the former New York Central Harlem line and makes its way around the area, visiting the neighboring Hudson line, the New Haven, Jersey Central, Pennsy (including the jointly-owned tracks of the NY&LB at South Amboy) and end up on the Erie Lackawanna, looking at both the former Erie and D&LW lines.

Morning Sun Books. Hardcover. New. The concept of Auto-Train was a winner, as this service continues under Amtrak ownership up to today. That's almost 50 years of service. The photographic coverage starts in the beginning with the brash paint scheme of the equipment and the piecing together of train consists with used equipment from many former railroads which exited the passenger train market before and at the formation of Amtrak. The business plan worked and was successful with older steam-heated and cooled cars but new General Electric diesel locomotives. The demise of the original Auto-Train has been agreed upon as the decision to have service to the Midwest begin at Louisville rather than finding a route to get closer to Chicago. This title has a nice selection of photographs from all Auto-Train eras. Contents: Introduction, pp. 2-5, Equipment, pp. 6-23, Facilities - Sanford, Florida, pp. 24-31, A Personal Visit to Sanford on November, 15, 1975, pp. 32-39, Facilities - Lorton, Virginia, pp.… Read More

Colorado Railroad Museum. Softcover. New. Pueblo is one of eight cities in Colorado that once had a street railway. For a full century, the Colorado Fuel & Iron steel mill dominated the economy of the city, and this affected the development of the transit system as well. In Pueblo's Steel Town Trolleys, Morris Cafkey and John Haney skillfully trace the fascinating story from beginning to end. At first there were horse cars and later, many of the electric trolleys were built by the Woeber Carriage Company of Denver. In the final years, ex-Colorado Springs Birney cars dominated the fleet. By 1940, Pueblo was one of the only cities where not a single motor bus operated in transit service. Included are the stories of the terrible 1921 flood, the heavy traffic to the annual Colorado State Fair, first-hand recollections of riders and employees, detailed descriptions of routes and track, and equipment rosters.
