Book excerpt: This book does not pretend to be a corporate history and certainly not the author¿s personal autobiography. Rather its purpose is to convey a close-up, ground-level look at a once very prosperous American railroad's mid-twentieth century struggle for survival ¿ from the prospective of a rookie operating officer. For those of us fortunate enough to serve the ¿Delay, Linger and Wait¿ there remains a nostalgic affection for this well-run eastern railroad icon.

Book Synopsis History of the Lackawanna Valley (Classic Reprint) by : H. Hollister
Download or read book History of the Lackawanna Valley (Classic Reprint) written by H. Hollister and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Lackawanna Valley IN presenting to the public these Contributions, it seems proper to state that the collection of the embodied facts was more the result of the love possessed by the writer for such incidents and history, than the hope of either a pecuniary reward, or a literary reputation. Becoming familiar with a few features in the history of the Lackawanna Valley, the writer was induced, by the solicitations of his friends, to put them into a shape whereby their publication might possibly awaken an interest, or perhaps elicit new and more connected material from a region where nothing yet had been done in the way of gathering its local history. From the absence of a proper and continued record - from indistinct and often conflicting memories - and from the death of all who were familiar with its earliest settlement, it is very proba ble that events narrated are sometimes given in an imperfect, and eyen in an inaccurate manner. It would not be surprising if such was the fact; but the reader must bear in mind that not only the personal, but the general history recorded here was written while the author was engaged in a large practice, and harassed by all the continual anxieties occurring in one of the most exhausting and thankless professions in the country.

Book Synopsis Lackawanna County Chronicles by : Margo L. Azzarelli
Download or read book Lackawanna County Chronicles written by Margo L. Azzarelli and published by American Chronicles. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The green hills and bustling boroughs of Lackawanna County have fostered a remarkable history of pioneering citizens and momentous events. Dr. Mary C. Nivison became the first female physician in the city when she opened her Scranton practice in 1871. Audiences were amazed in 1915, when Harry Houdini escaped from a large cask of beer at the Poli Theatre. The Pennsylvania county had its share of mayhem and tragedy as well. In 1923, the Laurel Line bandits held up the train between Moosic and Avoca, and nineteen years later, the flood of 1942 sent waters rushing down Carbondale's Main Street. From the stories of the Great Riot of 1877 to memories of the Club Burger at Carrol's Restaurant, local author Margo L. Azzarelli chronicles the history of Lackawanna County with this fascinating series of vignettes.

Download or read book Railroad Days written by Louis C. Langone and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Railroad Days is not an ordinary book about trains and locomotives. Instead, with approximately ninety photographs and illustrations illuminating the memories of the author, and other former track workers, Railroad Days shows the reader a time in American history when the railways were the nation's superhighways. The first-person recollections of those laboring in track maintenance reveal a now fading way of life. Indeed, the author exemplifies this vanishing era, as his is among the four generations of his family to have worked for the Delaware Lackawanna Railroad. Individual sections describe the tough work and teamwork performed by Langone and other railroad personnel including trainmen, signalmen, and station agents.

Perhaps that's because the pressures of life have always reminded him about his grandfather who mysteriously disappeared from the family twenty years ago. Now, while he tries to begin a family of his own, he also builds a relationship with the one person who might know the truth about his grandfather?s disappearance: his grandmother. She's remained stubbornly reticent on the topic all these years, but when a familiar old man shows up at Glassman's office he thinks he may finally get some answers.
