This book is a selection of photographs from the Railroad Avenue photograph collection. Since Bob Pennisi of Railroad Avenue was employed by the Erie Lackawanna from 1962 to 1977 and worked 'the Erie side', he is able to accurately caption the photographs for the reader.

Photographs cover the late steam-early diesel era of Erie operations in New Jersey. This includes the ferries and commuter trains but also includes some freight action.

On April 23, 1954, an era ended on the Central Railroad of New Jersey as scheduled, steam passenger operations came to an end. Not only did steam Passenger Service end on that day, but also the last of Central Railroad of New Jersey's Camelback steam locomotives operated.

The CNJ had long been a user of this distinctive, humped-back design. After April 23, 1954, the next fire these locomotives would experience in their firebox would be the fire from the cutter's torch. This book's focus has been narrowed to the careers of only those passenger camelback locomotives that remained on the CNJ roster as of January 1, 1945.

Over Homestake Pass on The Butte Short Line: The Construction Era 1888-1929.In the 1880s the Northern Pacific Railroad's management decided to bypass Butte, Montana, in favor of a main line through Helena 40 miles to the north.

At that time the mining region around Helena appeared to be a more lucrative source of traffic and offered a lower crossing of the continental divide after the completion of the Mullan Tunnel. Within three years, however, that situation changed as Butte began its conversion to a copper center, becoming known as the 'Richest Hill on Earth.' In 1886 the NP began a decade-long struggle to find a satisfactory route into Butte'first from Garrison, then from Helena, and finally from Logan over Homestake Pass.

The Butte Short Line is a history of that effort.The book chronicles surveys, agreements, and conflicts with the Union Pacific concerning rights-of-way in Jefferson Canyon, the Utah & Northern and the Montana Union.

It examines problems with Mullan Tunnel, the abortive Helena, Boulder Valley & Butte, and the competition provided by Hill's Montana Central. It discusses the role the Rocky Fork & Cooke City coal development played in the final route selection and the formation of the Northern Pacific & Montana.

It examines political intrigue during the time of Montana statehood. It details construction of the road and early operations.Construction documents as well as newspaper accounts of the day tell the stories of hold ups, wrecks, and election fraud through the words of those who lived them.

Read about violence on the Jefferson River, a little known mile-long spur at Welch, the shooting of Frank Clow, and the wreck of #2. Over 120 photos from the collections of F.J. Haynes, the Jefferson County Historical Museum, R.V.

Nixon, W.R. McGee, the Taylors, and others flesh out the work. Charts, maps, timetables, and other sources are similarly included.Pictorial Histories Publishing, soft cover, 112 pages, 8.5 x 11 x.25 in., B&W photographs and illustrations, fully indexed.
