A new series: RAILROADS OVER TIME
METRO-NORTH'S HUDSON LINE:
POUGHKEEPSIE TO OSCAWANA
By Thomas V. Panettiere
ISBN: 0-9651364-5-0
$39.95
Whereas our SCENES ALONG THE RAILS series shows what once was, the new RAILROADS OVER TIME
series takes the story full circle. Vintage photographs through contemporary color serve to
illustrate the evolution of a selected railroad from the golden age of steam to the modern age
of streamlined diesels and electrics. Having observed its twentieth anniversary in 2003, the
Metro-North Railroad is a fitting choice to initiate this series. This installment depicts the
Hudson Line between Poughkeepsie and Oscawana, which includes some of the most spectacular
scenery in the Hudson River Valley. Illustrations begin with the Hudson River Rail Road and
continue through the New York Central, Penn Central, Conrail and Metro-North. Early steam,
E-units, FL-9s, F-10s, Geeps, B23-7s, U-boats, RDCs, SPV-2000s and Genesis engines are all
shown.
160 pages, 270 color and b&w illustrations and other ephemera, bibliography, index. Printed on
80# gloss enamel paper in an Ota-bind softcover format.
