- Used Book in Good Condition
Planned and chartered on April 24, 1834, the Long Island Rail Road commenced operations in 1836 to provide a route to Boston. Stretching 110 miles east of New York City, the Long Island Rail Road has been the backbone of population growth and suburban development for over a
hundred years. Electrification was begun on the Long Island Rail Road in 1905. Whether it was commuter, freight, or special trains, third-rail operations played a major role in the Long Island Rail Roadâ€™s development as well as the people, places, and industries it served. This book offers
an insiderâ€™s view of the Morris Park shops and photographs of the varied passenger operations found on the Long Island Rail Road.
