High quality color photographs illustrate the history of the New Haven Railroad's passenger operations in the era of the streamlined train beginning in 1934 with its first lightweight car order through to the railroad's experimentation with the ultra-lightweight trains of the mid-1950s and into the troubled 1960s. Filled with historical background information and photographs that illustrate New Haven paint schemes on cars and locomotives. Stations and other passenger operations are also recorded.

Excellent color history of the New Haven in the later years,
By A Customer
This review is from: New Haven Railroad in the Streamline Era (Hardcover)
Book includes many color photos of New Haven trains, including some of the special streamliners that were tried in the 50's. A comprehensive equipment rooster is included at the end. Very good photography, and insightful writing. All and all a must for the New Haven fan.
