Description:
Morning Sun Books. Hardcover. New. In the mid Twentieth Century, the Big Little Railroad was never really a financial success. The longest main line run was 191.8 miles from Jersey City to Scranton, Pennsylvania. As the years went by, Passenger Service turned from an asset to a liability draining millions of dollars from the corporate treasury. Surrounded by competition, first in the form of other railroads and later a web of government financed highways, the CNJ always had to fight for its existence. Despite four bankruptcies, the CNJ served the Garden State for 145 years as a vital transportation link, moving cargo and people until the formation of the quasi-government railroad known as Conrail. Contents: Introduction, pp. 3-5, The 1940s, pp. 6-23, The 1950s, pp. 24-55, The 1960s, 56-99, The 1970s, pp. 100-128. Hardcover with dust jacket, 128 pages, 8.5 x 11 in., Color photographs with captions.

Description:
Steel Road Press, 2023. Softcover. New. Softcover, 72 pages, B&W and Color photographs with captions. In January 1953 the Baldwin Locomotive Works supplied the Central New Jersey with four of their model RS-12 road-switchers. They were specifically purchased to dieselize the shuttle services that ran between Elizabethport, Newark and Kearny, New Jersey. By 1954 changes were already in the works and the delivery of Budd RDC-1�s removed them from their intended service. Baldwin diesel locomotives were a familiar product on the CNJ. Because of this, the four quickly found themselves in yard and local service in and around Jersey City. In time, their service lives carried them to Ashley and Bridgeton before the Baldwin era ended in 1973. This 72-page, softcover title illustrates their CNJ existence from delivery to scrapping with 21 of the pages being in color. Not to be overlooked is a review of the steam tank engines they replaced as well as leased Reading Baldwin AS-16's.

Description:
Santa Fe Railway H&M Society. Softcover. New. On August 1, 1899, the Santa Fe and the Colorado & Southern began operating the Santa Fe's line between Denver and Pueblo in a truly joint and integrated fashion. The two companies envisioned that the employees of the line, whether from the ATSF or the C&S would be employees of the new Joint Line. In 1918 the USRA nationalized the nation's railroad and brought another player to the Join Line, the Denver & Rio Grande Western. The Santa Fe's and Rio Grande's main lines basically paralleled each other between Denver and Pueblo, the USRA forced the two to operate as a single double-track railroad. When the USRA handed the railroads back to private ownership, the ATSF and D&RGW decided to continue to operate the two lines as if they were a single double-track railroad shared with the C&S. From that time until the BNSF merger in 1995 the three involved railroads both cooperated and competed with one another. Author Robert Walz explores the fascinating history…
