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, 8.5"x11", 128 pages, 200+ all color photographs with captions.
