New Haven Railroad by Peter Lynch
Despite operating on 1,800 miles of track crammed into small region, the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, better known simply as "The New Haven," hauled more travellers and commuters than just about any other line in history. This wonderfully illustrated history features rare archival images that follow the New Haven to its final dissolution in 1969. The New Haven's business history is also covered, as are the roles of major players like J. P. Morgan, Frederick and Buck Dumaine, and Patrick McGinnis. The book also includes period ads highlighting freight and passenger operations and the famous orange, black, and white "McGinnis scheme."
Peter Lynch has worked for the several American railroads. Currently employed by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, he is the author of Silvio, a biography of former Massachusetts Congressman Silvio Conte. He lives in Connecticut.
