Roads, Rivers & Rails, The Delaware & Hudson's Susquehanna Trail, Vol. 2

Description

In Volume 2, author John Taibi continues his story of the Delaware & Hudson and its connection to all of the towns served between the "City of the Hills" (Oneonta) and the "Parlor City" (Binghamton). This book contains more than 600 first-generation color, sepia, and black & white illustrations - from vintage stereoviews and post cards to color photographs of current owner Canadian Pacific Rail sharing the steel ribbons with Norfolk Southern. Vintage D&H steam and early diesels to the most modern motive power - AC4400CW, SD60 SD90, ES44AC, C40-9W, and ES40DC - are captured at various locations over the line. Union Pacific and BNSF run-through power makes numerous appearances.
An extensive introduction reviews the first book. Then Volume 2 starts its own story with an all-new section on Oneonta. From there the journey continues down the Susquehanna watershed through Otego, Wells Bridge, Unadilla, Sidney, Bainbridge, Afton, Nineveh, Harpursville, Belden, Tunnel, Sanitaria Springs, and Port Crane - concluding at the "Parlor City", Binghamton.
341 pages, 619 illustrations (over 300 in color), maps, blueprints, and ephemera. Printed in America on 80# gloss paper in an oblong laminated hardcover format with an additional gloss film lamination applied to the cover. Published by Depot Square Publishing.
