DESCRIPTION:
"Rails in the North Woods" according to Herbert G. Ogden. Rails in the North Woods is interesting if you are a railfan, are interested in the Adirondacks, or are just a history buff. There is also quite a lot of info on logging railroads in Pennsylvania and Vermont. Photo quality is not great; I can't tell if the reason is the paper stock or the original negatives.
A line paying handsome dividends one day can be out of business the next if its prize customer closes up shop. This is the story of several typical New York State shortlines, reprinted and updated from the 1978 edition. This book is a joint effort by Keith Maloney, William Gove, Richard Allen, and Richard Palmer, all of whom devoted many hours in extensive research. The life of a shortline railroad is precarious. Great railroad book-great Adirondack book!. Of the railroads in this history, only one remains today-the Lowville and Beaver River Railroad
