Description: This title is organized by year. A color map of each carrier's routes to Columbus are included and cover one full page. Some pages will have one large photograph, some two and others four photographs. The photographer went out in all weather conditions and there are some interesting snow scenes. Columbus was a good location to see some great railroad action. Columbus, Ohio was an important intersection along the mainline routes of the PRR, NYC, N&W, C&O, and B&O. During the 15 year period 1964-1979, the five roads underwent a complete transformation that is wonderfully described in the color work of local photographer Paul Geiger.

Description: A 1903 law prohibiting the use of steam locomotives in Manhattan became the catalyst that started the predecessor companies of the New York Central and New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroads on the path to electrification. Starting with that era, the book tells the story of the massive electrification projects of both railroads with special emphasis on the new Grand Central Terminal that opened in 1913 and continues to serve the public today. In addition to the NYC's electrification, the book explains the role of the New Haven RR and its electrification system. It brings the story up to date including the present day operation by the Metro-North RR and extension of the Harlem Line electrification from North White Plains to Southeast, north of Brewster.
