New Haven Railroad

short description is not available

From 1872 to 1969 the New York, New Haven, & Hartford Railroad--known colloquially as the New Haven--hauled more passengers than any other line in the U.S. The railroad's four-track electric main line across the Hell Gate Bridge into New York City carried millions of commuters and travelers. This paperback release of one of the bestselling MBI Railroad Color History titles is a definitive guide to the New Haven, as well as a rich pictorial collection. In addition to a selection of New Haven print advertising featuring the famous Shore Line Route and the memorable orange, black, and white "McGinnis" livery, there are 100 color and 40 black-and-white photos, the majority of which were sourced from one of the country's top private New Haven archives. The author's engaging history covers nearly a century of New Haven operations and motive power, from 1872 to the road's collapse in 1969.
