New York Central Early Power Volume II 1831-1916 Alvin Staufer NI

Authoritative story of the New York Central’s rise to power from 1831-1916 covering the formation of the NYC’s predecessor lines including the New York Central & Hudson River, Boston & Albany, Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, Indiana Harbor Belt, Big Four, Michigan Central, Toledo & Ohio Central, and Pittsburgh & Lake Erie. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. 352 pages. NOTE: The first edition, first printing of this book has a dust jacket showing the east and west bound Twentieth Century Limiteds passing in the night. The second printing is labeled “Volume II” but is identical in content to the first printing (right down to the 1967 date) — so I think Mr. Staufer meant second printing, not second volume.
