Text follows the route in photographs and fact-laden passages all the way from Weehawken, New Jersey to Buffalo, New York.
This is the only book ever published about the entirety of the
New York Central's West Shore Railroad
, a 450+ mile line that ran along the western banks of the Hudson River and west along the Erie Canal to Buffalo on Lake Erie.
The book covers over 100 stations and the West Shore's branch line to Earlville. Included are hundreds of steam locomotive action shots and dozens of color diesel era images.
Readers will discover that the West Shore was NOT a branch line. It was a well-engineered, double track, signaled main line railroad.
The New York Central used the route to move freight unimpeded from Buffalo to the Albany area, and then down the Hudson's 'West Shore' to Jersey's ports and the New York region's manufacturers.
While the four track main line hosted premier passenger trains, this route labored unpretentiously in the shadows. Now, John Ham shines deserved light upon a route dripping with history, and still a vital CSX link.
Years of photography, research, and collections by the authors have resulted in a wonderful pictorial review of this nearly 500-mile railroad that stretched across New York state from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes.
Together with prominent historians and collectors, the authors compiled a wide variety of steam-to-diesel images, maps, ephemera, and drawings presented in this book.
