Rails in the North Woods (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780925168696)

This is the story of several typical New York State shortlines, reprinted and updated from the 1978 edition. The life of a shortline railroad is precarious. A line paying handsome dividends one day can be out of business the next if its prize customer closes up shop. Of the railroads in this history, only one remains today-the Lowville and Beaver River Railroad. This book is a joint effort by Keith Maloney, William Gove, Richard Allen, and Richard Palmer, all of whom devoted many hours in extensive research. Great railroad book-great Adirondack book!
