Only Yesterday on the Lehigh & New England Railroad Fischer Brand New SALE

Description: Only Yesterday on the Lehigh & New England Railroad: A Photographic Remembrance by Robert Fischer. Garrigues House, Publishers 2008 (that’s us). Hardbound with dust jacket. New in wraps. 160 pages, numerous vintage black and white photographs. Original price was $65.00. The following is from the dust jacket end flap of Only Yesterday: “It seems like only yesterday when engines adorned with blazing, red center, circular heralds blasted out of Panther Creek Valley, crossed eastern Pennsylvania, the Lehigh River, and Delaware River to New Jersey hauling endless hopper car loads of black diamonds destined for Maybrook, New York, the railroad gateway to New England. The Coalfield, Slate Belt, and Cement Region are all photographically represented, as well as right-of-ways, stations, terminals, and branch lines along the L&NE’s entire east-west mainline. Only Yesterday on the Lehigh & New England Railroad is the most voluminous, most meticulously researched photographic presentation revealing the L&NE ever offered. All aspects of the Company are reviewed and illustrated, including corporate history, relationship to the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company, development of the physical plant and rights-of-way, locomotives, passenger cares, revenue freight cars, and non-revenue cars with emphasis on the 1947-1950 steam – diesel transition years. Continuing the tradition begun with Central Railroad Company of New Jersey Steam Motive Power 1935-1956, this is a no nonsense presentation that not only tells you, BUT ALSO SHOWS YOU.” Ships for free in the Continental United States in a box, not in plastic wrappers like some shippers.
