Description
Beautifully done history of the Boston & Albany. This first volume, packed with 164 color photos, 20 historic black and white photos, lively anecdotes from employees, and a colorful end paper system map designed by John Signor, covers passenger and freight on the line from Boston to Worcester, including both the main line, the six branch lines and the MBTA. The book traces the B&A's history from its earliest beginnings through the New York Central, Penn Central and Conrail. Includes a separate section on Boston's magnificent South Station, dining car china and two first-hand reminiscences from the early 20th century. A wonderful mix of steam and diesel era memories -- come along for the ride! - from Amzon
