Day and night for well over 100 years, the New Haven Railroad plied the rails between New York City and Boston, its mere 1,800 miles of track carrying more passengers than any other railroad in the history of the U.S. rail industry. This illustrated history revisits the days when New England’s fortunes were inseparable from the New Haven’s—when trains like the Merchants Limited, Yankee Clipper, Cranberry, and Quaker carried tourists and commuters to the great cities of the East Coast, and to destinations like Cape Cod, Hyannis, and Woods Hole, boat connections to Martha’s Vineyard, and ski slopes in the Berkshires.

This review is from: New Haven Passenger Trains (Great Passenger Trains) (Hardcover)
Maybe I was expecting a book up to the standard set by the first book in this series, on Amtrak. I am not familiar with the New Haven's service area, and was often lost when reading the text. The McGinnes era seems to have few pictures. For example, there is only one of the Talgo trains and none of the converted RDC trains. Instead of being a snapshot of the trains of the later years, as shown on the cover, it attempts a history without the photographs or maps to make satisfy a reader new to the history of the NH.

I found the book to have a great deal of information on the New Haven Rail road that I did not know. Having grown up on the main line of the New Haven it let me know about the route that I was not aware of.
