New York Central Railroad

Famous for its many great passenger trains, including the New York­to­Chicago 20th Century Limited, the New York Central also operated high-volume freight trains and the fabulous Grand Central Station in Midtown Manhattan. In this reissue of the 1999 MBI title, prolific railway author Brian Solomon sources 150 evocative photographs, promotional materials, and postcards not included in his previous volume to deliver a nostalgic and colorful look at the New York Central. In addition, there are four specially commissioned maps. The result is a fresh look at a true icon of American transportation whose legacy survives on well-trafficked, high-speed main lines used by CSX, Norfolk Southern, and Amtrak-and in this new volume.Solomon, Brian is the author of 'New York Central Railroad ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780760329283 and ISBN 0760329281.
