About this book

Manhattan Gateway: New York's Pennsylvania Station (Golden Years of Railroading) by Middleton, William D.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780890241776.

A history of the various plans to get the Pennsylvania Railroad into Manhattan (over & under the Hudson R.) and out to the Northeast (across Hell Gate), and the monument that was Penn Station. Covers the tragic loss of that great edifice to the Quislings of Penn & the vulgar boosterism of NYC (which found its dreams of revenue turned to a nightmare when the grotesque Madison Square Garden costs soared and yields failed to materialize). Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
