This review is from: New Haven Railroad (Railroad Color History) (Hardcover)

For those interested in Railroads in general, and the New Haven Railroad in particular,you would be well advised to grab a copy of this book. As a 46 year veteran of the NH,PC,Conrail & Amtrak progression, I found it to be very accurate, concise & mostly very interesting reading, bringing the whole history of the New Haven in easily followed chapters (couldn't put it down once I started reading it). Also, there are many excellent photo's. I strongly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Train Yourself to Relax, October 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: New Haven Railroad (Railroad Color History) (Hardcover)

Here is an outstanding history and pictorial survey of the late (but still beloved) NYNH&H. The author gives a basic (yet thorough) history of the railroad and describes what it did and how and why it did it. Thoughtfully selected and captioned pictures supplement the well-written text. The book includes maps which will provide readers not familiar with the scope and operations of the NH an idea of "what was where when." The quality of photo reproduction (color, black and white, sepia)is excellent. This will be a good addition to your collection of books on railroads in New England. Also, in this era of drastically overpriced and often indifferently produced railroad books, Lynch's work is refreshingly affordable.
