New Haven Junction to Bristol Vermont Crossroads to Caskets James R Jones w/DVD

Description

ALL ABOARD! All the fun is getting there! For 38 years, from 1892 to 1930, the six-mile Bristol Railroad was among the busiest lumber product haulers in the United States. Bristol Manufacturing Company was shipping boxcar loads of locally made caskets from their plant along the New Haven River to the Bristol village train station and all points of the compass via the connecting Rutland Railroad at New Haven Junction, Vermont. Author and filmmaker James R. “Jim” Jones proudly presents this meticulously researched, profusely illustrated 200-page chronicle on the life and times of rural Vermont from the 1850s to now. This limited edition keepsake publication was created with assistance and support from Bristol Historical Society members, local townsfolk, noted collectors and rail historians.
