The third in a series of titles covering railroad operations around Port
Jervis, New York, this book will cover the time from the Erie
Lackawanna Railway’s merger with five other bankrupt railroads to form
Conrail in 1976 through the end of Conrail operations in 1999. Also
covered are local commuter operations during the same time period by
Metro-North and NJ Transit, as well as freight operations via trackage
rights by the Susquehanna. Ample coverage is also given to the changes
in local railroad infrastructure and the litany of excursion operations
conducted into and through Port Jervis in the 1980s and 1990s. The
extensively researched text is illustrated with over 150
never-before-seen all-color photographs.
