About this book
Book takes us to the Albany-Rensselaer-Troy area of New York State during some of the most exciting times to be trackside in the last-of-steam and first-of-diesels days. Join photographer Gerrit Bruins as he records the action in vivid color on the New York Central Delaware & Hudson Boston & Maine and Rutland Railroad when steam and early diesels worked side-by-side during this period of transition. New York Central photos make up about two-thirds of this book. There is a good balance between NYC steam and diesel with more passenger trains than freight trains. The Delaware & Hudson makes up almost the rest of the book followed by two pages of Boston & Maine and two pages of Rutland. This book is a fascinating trackside look at the Albany New York area between 1949 and 1974. See a wide range of diesels and the last of steam along with circus trains unusual equipment moves some experimental paint schemes and more. Hardbound w/ dust jacket 8.5x11 128 pages 200 all color photographs with captions.
