Railroads Over Time, Metro-North's Hudson Line, Poughkeepsie to Oscawanna

Description

The RAILROADS OVER TIME series takes its story full circle using vintage photographs through contemporary color to illustrate the evolution of a selected railroad from the golden age of steam to the modern age of streamlined diesels, electrics, and modern power that served the lower Hudson valley. Having observed its twentieth anniversary in 2003, the Metro-North Railroad is a fitting choice to initiate this series. This installment depicts the Hudson Line between Poughkeepsie and Oscawana, which includes some of the most spectacular scenery in the Hudson River Valley. Illustrations begin with the Hudson River Rail Road and continue through the New York Central, Penn Central, Conrail and Metro-North. Early steam, E-units, FL-9s, F-10s, Geeps, B23-7s, U-boats, RDCs, SPV-2000s and Genesis engines are all shown. Travel past Bannerman's Island, Breakneck Ridge, the tunnels, Annsville Creek viaduct and the population centers at Poughkeepsie, Beacon, Cold Spring, Garrison, and Peekskill. This book features the excellent photography of Edward May, Gene Dauner, Walter Zullig, Heyward "Woody" Cohen, David Patch, Tim Wakeman, and others.
