The Back Shop Illustrated: Erecting, Repair, and Terminal Railroad Shops Vol. 1

Description: The Back Shop Illustrated: Erecting, Repair, and Terminal Railroad Shops in the Age of Steam; Volume I: Northeast and New England Regions Although a railroad’s “back shops” were among the most important aspect of daily operations, they often went unnoticed by the general public and unpublicized by historians. For the first time, a comprehensive history of the largest heavy repair shops in the United States during the steam era has been published. The first volume, titled Northeast and New England Regions, has nearly 300 fact-filled and profusely illustrated pages of shops that operated in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maine, and Connecticut. This fascinating, limited edition book has 475 black and white photos, maps, and illustrations, and will make a welcome addition to any railroad fan’s library. This is a self-published book. Once the print run is sold out, it will be unavailable until another print run is made (if ever).
