Although a railroad’s “back shops” were among the most important
aspect of daily operations, they often went unnoticed by the general
public and historians. For the first time, a comprehensive history of
the largest heavy repair shops in the United States during the steam era
has been published. Includes facilities for the PRR, NYC, New Haven, Philadelphia & Reading, Erie, BR&P, CNJ, B&M and D&H.
