Central Railroad of New Jersey: Station Structures & Marine Equipment (Historic Journeys by Rail) Tapa blanda - 2004

Dauberville, Pennsylvania, USA: Outer Station Project, 2004. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 164 pages b/w photos - This is a fascinating visual history of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, with hundreds of photographs of stations, bridges, towers, piers and docks, engine houses, and repair facilities along all the branches of the line, from Jersey City to Scranton, Newark to the Delaware Bay. All station stops along each branch are identified. The photos are all 1900-1930 vintage and were taken mainly from ICC reports filed by the CNJ during that time. Each photo has a thumbnail caption and short histories of all the stations are given. The only thing missing that would have been helpful is a map of the entire system or better yet, each branch line, showing all the stops - as what used to appear in the Official Guide of Railways. Regardless, this book is a wealth of information and a major eyeful concerning the past glory of the CNJ. A must for railfans.
