Stony Clove & Catskill Mountain Press, 2023. Hardcover. New. Hardcover, 336 pages, 600 Color and B&W Photographs, Illustrations, Maps, Diagrams, and Locomotive Roster Data. Over the last five years, author John Ham has produced four books partnering with railroad historian and writer Roger Liller, who grew up along the New Haven Railroad in Connecticut and has spent his life researching the railroads of New England. His knowledge of and memorabilia collection concerning the railroads in the Berkshires gave rise to this publication about the Boston and Albany Railroad. John decided to focus this book on the Boston &Albany's steam era ""Glory Years"", relying heavily on the scenes taken in the Berkshires. He was able to obtain a multitude of quality steam and early diesel photos that were taken over the years by some of the most noted rail photographers of that period. This 336-page publication contains not only Boston &Albany Main Line photos, but images of its branch lines, major connecting… Read More

White River Productions. Hardcover. New. Thirty years in the making, this new hardcover publication tells the complete story of these fascinating logging locomotives. Presented in construction number order, the articulateds are covered individually in great detail with statistics and full histories that document each locomotive from the day it left Baldwin's sprawling Eddystone, Pennsylvania, factory to its ultimate disposition. Between 1909 and 1937, the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, produced 44 specialized locomotives that were either built for, or later transitioned to, the rigors of hauling raw logs on railroads where the grades were steep and the curves many. While all of these locomotives were built as articulated they varied greatly in design and appearance. Most were built as compound articulateds (Mallets) but two companies, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company and the Uintah Railway, received simple articulateds. Water carrying methods were also wide-ranging. While most… Read More

The ""Galloping Geese,"" the unique amalgamations of rubber tire and flanged wheel, not only kept the railroad running but spread the fame of the RGS across the land, and eventually, far beyond our shores. This remarkable story burgeons with Goose invention, fabrication, operation, deterioration, restoration and re-creation. Even more remarkable is the fact that all the… Read More

South Platte Press. Softcover. New. For well over 100 years, there was a close and usually mutually beneficial relationship between the City of Parsons, Kansas, and what became the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad Company (M-K-T or -the Katy-). Parsons, located on rolling prairie land near the southeast corner of Kansas, depended largely on the Katy for its basic employment, those jobs which brought money into the community. In fact, during the first half of that period it was almost a textbook example of a railroad town. Covering the years 1865 to 2012, the authors relate the fascinating story of how Parsons was the site of the Katy's main locomotive repair shop until its merger with the Union Pacific in 1988. Railroad historian I.E. Quastler has previously authored a number of Midwest railroad history topics, including Rock Island Line In Focus. Co-author James Reisdorff has authored or co-authored books such as The Man Who Wrecked 146 Locomotives. South Platte Press, softcover, 168 pages, 115 B&W… Read More

The Garbely Publishing Company. Softcover. New. Mount Union was the location of the interchange between the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad and the famous narrow-gauge line, the East Broad Top Railroad and Coal Company. But in addition to the East Broad Top, there were 3-ft. gauge tracks serving the brick manufacturers of Harbinson-Walker Refractories Company and General Refractories. Also, the Pennsylvania Railroad operated a tie treatment plant with its own 2-ft. gauge railroad.

He also found freight on those roads as well as Chicago Great Western, Soo Line, Minneapolis, Northfield & Southern and others. Check out his camera skills in this intriguing approach to the 'Twin Cities.' Most photographs are taken at or near the passenger terminals but also at yards and junctions.
