NYC Trackside Big Apple to Buffalo 1965 to 1969

Noted rail photographer Al Roberts gives the reader the lowdown on New York Central’s “Lines East” during the company’s last years, and Penn Central’s first.  Pictures go from Grand Central and electric operations to E-units on passenger trains, RDCs, yards, equipment, Flexi-Vans and Nickel Plate No. 759 on the Golden Spike Centennial excursion train.  Photo quality is very good, but knowledgeable NYC folks will find the captions a bit “light”.  The book favors major terminal areas at the expense of “life along the Mohawk”.
