The New York Central Upper Harlem Line between Brewster and Chatham, NY is a tale in two parts, one part is now history while the other part in the modern era, is thriving. The focus of this book is primarily on the New York Central's classic “Lighting Stripe” era, when both parts were active together during the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. This is documented through the color photographs of the late D.R. (Bob) McCulloch. Once an important part of the New York Central System, the Upper Harlem Line was also noted for including some of the Central’s rarest diesel locomotives in the power mix. Bob McCulloch was a Chatham, NY resident and an employee of the Central. He held many positions over those years and was able to photograph trains at most of the important stations and locations between Brewster and Chatham, NY. Coverage also includes some of the Penn Central, Conrail and Metro North eras as well. This 80 page all color softcover book contains over 190 diesel era color photographs. The “New York Central Upper Harlem Line” is a companion to the author's previous book entitled “New York Central Chatham Crossing”.
