DESCRIPTION:
Interesting History Robert The engineering firm I work for is rehabilitating the last remaining bridge from this railroad. It will be a dedicated pedestrian bicycle facility in Catskill, NY. The book was useful as it has a photo of the bridge as it was in use in the early 1900s.. "New York state narrow gauge!" according to Brian J. Empanger. Excellent overview of a series of relatively unknown (outside of certain areas of New York state, anyway) narrow gauge prototype.. Five Stars vicki Markham Love reading all about the railroads of The Catskill area…. and realizing they are all gone now and why
