Download or read book New Haven Railroad in the McGinnis Era written by Marc J. Frattasio and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Haven Railroad, though relatively small in size, was an operation that truly had it all. The New Havens 225 mile-long Shore Line Route main line linked Boston and New York City while its many branches served, southern New England, in its day one of the most densely populated and heavily industrialized regions of the United States. To satisfy the broad service requirements of its territory, the New Haven maintained a diversity of passenger and freight equipment completely out of proportion to its size. The New Haven was one of the few railroads that could boast of having operated steam, diesel, and electric locomotives simultaneously - during the modern era.Although the New Haven was always an interesting railroad, it took on a larger than life character after Patrick B. McGinnis became its president on April 14th, 1954. Unquestionably the most outspoken and controversial railroad executive of his time, McGinnis believed that the ailing railroad industrys greatest handicap was its lack of modern thinking and that his ideas - if universally adopted - could lead the railroads into the future. McGinnis used the New Haven as a laboratory to test his many bold ideas for revitalizing the railroad industry. As a result of his experiments and flair for publicity, the New Haven remained fixed in the public spotlight throughout the 22 months of his administration as no other railroad has ever been.With the help of over 500 illustrations, author Marc Frattasio tells the full story of the New Haven Railroad under Patrick McGinnis from the bitter battle to wrest the railroad away from Frederic C. Dumaine Jr. through the financial chicanery and turmoil that ultimately forced McGinnis to step down. In between the details of experiments with high speed passenger trains, the colorful corporate image and architectural design programs, new locomotives and equipment, the commuter insurrection, efforts to merge the New Haven with the Boston & Maine, the hurricanes and floods of 1954 and 1955, the General Motors Plan, and many other interesting but little known aspects of the railroad in the McGinnis era are revealed.Additionally, the events of the McGinnis era are framed within the broader context of the New Havens overall history and a survey is provided of Patrick McGinnis tumultuous careers on the Norfolk Southern, the Central of Georgia, and the Boston & Maine railroads.

Download or read book The Rutland Road written by Jim Shaughnessy and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1997-03-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One would be challenged to find a railroad to compare scenically and historically with the Rutland Railroad. With Yankee persistence, it struggled for its existence in the snows of Vermont and northern New York for more than one hundred years. Running through territory amply covered by larger and stronger lines, it survived bankruptcy, receivership, flood, unequal competition, seizure, depression, and strikes. Its vestigial remains operate in a small area to this day. Jim Shaughnessy—award-winning railroad photographer and authority—discusses the Rutland's entire history thoroughly, from preconstrnction in 1831 to the present. In this updated edition, the author covers the history of the three lines that continued to operate after the demise of the Rutland Railroad-the Vermont Railway, the Green Mountain Railroad, and the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority. Lavishly illustrated with more than 500 incomparable photographs (including those by railroad photographer Philip R. Hastings), The Rutland Road has other features for the railroad enthusiast and historian alike: maps, charts, reproductions of advertisements, a detailed index with engine rosters, a chronology of the Rutland Railroad, and other significant statistical information.

Book excerpt: An epic and revelatory narrative of the most important transportation technology of the modern world In his wide-ranging and entertaining new book, Tom Zoellner—coauthor of the New York Times–bestselling An Ordinary Man—travels the globe to tell the story of the sociological and economic impact of the railway technology that transformed the world—and could very well change it again. From the frigid trans-Siberian railroad to the antiquated Indian Railways to the Japanese-style bullet trains, Zoellner offers a stirring story of this most indispensable form of travel. A masterful narrative history, Train also explores the sleek elegance of railroads and their hypnotizing rhythms, and explains how locomotives became living symbols of sex, death, power, and romance.

Download or read book New York Central Railroad written by Brian Solomon and published by Voyageur Press. This book was released on 2007-08-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades the New York Central reigned as one of Americas most important railroads. Beginning with the 1853 consolidation of a group of fledgling railways that formed a route from Buffalo to Albany, the New York Central grew into a powerhouse transportation company with more than 10,000 route miles. This illustrated history of the railroad that grew to power under the Vanderbilt dynasty covers every aspect of the New York Central through its 1968 merger with longtime rival Pennsylvania Railroad and the eventual merger of Penn Centrals successor, Conrail, into Norfolk Southern and CSX. Along the way, readers are treated to a selection of archival photographs, commissioned route maps, period ads, and timetables detailing all of New York Centrals operations--steam and diesel, freight and passenger--not to mention associated icons like Grand Central Terminal, the legendary Henry Dreyfuss shrouded Hudson steam locomotives, the Water Level Route, and the 20th Century Limited passenger trains. Prolific railway author Brian Solomon sources 150 evocative photographs, promotional materials, and postcards not included in the previous edition to deliver a nostalgic and colorful look at the New York Central. In addition, there are four specially commissioned maps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York, Westchester & Boston Railway was a high-speed electric commuter railroad that was built ahead of its time. This 21-mile interurban railway served the bucolic suburbs of Westchester County from an out-of-the-way terminal at Harlem River, in the Bronx. Built and controlled by the New Haven, economics and politics would see this line removed from the landscape just before its true value could be realized. Author Robert A. Bang guides you through this journey on Westchester County's "forgotten railroad" with many never-before-published photographs and illustrations.

Download or read book New Haven Junction to Bristol, Vermont written by James Jones and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Haven, Vermont has been a crossroads for more than two centuries. The Rutland & Burlington Railroad's 1849 arrival signaled a new era, as lengthy steam-powered trains dotted the Addison County landscape. For another four decades, Bristol's 1,800 inhabitants observed with interest and envy as freight and passenger trains polished the R&B mainline, six miles away. The Bristol House was sending two stages a day, for the roundtrip to the R&B's New Haven train station. A third stagecoach owned by the competing Commercial House, stirred up the dust with its own daily run. The disadvantages of being an "off line" community were many. Mr. Jesse J. Ridley and Myron Wilson, founders of the Bristol Herald, were determined to put their village on the rail map. A feasibility discussion was held in the basement of Holley Hall, during February, 1890. Rutland native and entrepreneur Percival Clement's resources eventually transformed the Bristol Railroad from blueprint to three-dimensional reality. 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. The rails also opened up vast travel opportunities for every occasion- from church-sponsored card games in New Haven to bright lights, big city entertainment. All aboard for a memorable journey where all the fun is getting there! Author and filmmaker James R. "Jim" Jones proudly presents this meticulously researched, 200-page chronicle on the life and times of rural Vermont from the 1850s to now.
