DESCRIPTION:
A tribute to one of America's GREAT railroads. I originally bought several copies of this book back in the early 80's as retirement gifts for a number of guys approaching the end of their railroading careers. Several were friends of my father, and a few I remember from my childhood. But strangely enough, I never kept a copy for myself.Anyway,. John A. Needham said A GREAT NYC RAILROAD BOOK. I chose this book because I like the steam engines of the NYC RR. I had this one but lent it out and it never came back.When I saw it on Amazon I immediately sent for it. Well worth the effort and minimal expense to recover a much liked book.Thanks for such good service all the way around. Covers
