FACES OF
RAILROADING, Portraits of
America's Greatest Industry
by Carl A. Swanson. A tribute to the people who dedicated their
careers to the great American railroad industry during its Golden
Years. This book celebrates the personality of the railroad industry
- from those aboard trains that linked rural America and the world
to the caretakers of those juggernaut locomotives that powered the
continent's growth and laid the groundwork for the vast industry we
enjoy today. In this book you will (1) sense what it was like to
command a locomotive, (2) Learn how the railroads put America on
standard time, (3) Revisit the days when the depot was the heart of
the community, (4) Enjoy the luxury passenger trains of the postwar
years, and (5) Tour backshops where trains were maintained.

Harvey
House Cookbook, The, Memories

railroad, operated in concert rather than independently, and
providing a meal-stop food service that would attract, rather than
repel, passengers". This book contains 200-plus vintage
recipes (many simple to prepare), numerous period photos, and the
Fred Harvey story. 193 pages, B&W photos, (originally

Bill Blewett, Bob Zinsmeister, Grant Oakes, Jr., Kent Cochrane and
Vitaly Uzoff, written by Gale E. Treiber.
From the time of the Oahu Railway and Land company's inception,
products of Oahu's sugar plantations were its principal source of
revenue. By the time the railroad reached its terminus at Kahuku in

of Honolulu. Plantation railways supplied sugar stalks to the
mills. This volume
highlights the following sugar plantation railways on Oahu: (1)

Railroads of New York State, Volume One,
Where did the Tracks Go in the Western Adirondacks? by
Michael Kudish.
A 496 page volume called "Railroads of the Adirondacks: A History"
was published in 1996. It went out of print in 2001. So much
additional detail had accumulated by that time that a major revision
was needed. A single volume of 1,000 pages would be extremely
cumbersome, resulting in a decision to publish in four separate,
slimmer, portable volumes including one on the Catskills. This is
the first of the volumes. The primary intent of the volumes is to
assist the reader in the location of railroad grades, primarily
abandoned, in the field. This volume covers, by geography, railroads
connecting with the New York Central's Ottawa and Saint Lawrence
divisions. 264 pages, very limited B&W photos, extensive maps and
diagrams of each railroad and also by industries, (2005) Purple
