Description: The L&HR was a small (96-mile) single-track railroad located mostly in the northwest corner of New Jersey. Despite its size, the road was a key link between the Lehigh Valley, Central New Jersey, Pennsylvania Railroad, and DL&W with the New Haven Railroad at Maybrook, New York. This all-color book takes the reader from the steam age, through years of operation with nothing but ALCOs, and on to its demise with the burning of the Poughkeepsie Bridge across the Hudson River and the Conrail takeover of the Penn Central.
