Maine Narrow Gauge Railroads
ISBN: 9780738511795 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The narrow gauge railroad arrived in the United States in the late nineteenth century. Based on the Welsh two-foot gauge, the American narrow gauge was expanded by railroad engineers to a three-foot gauge that became the standard track width for narrow gauge railroads in the United States. Maine, however, adopted the two-foot gauge that was developed by George E. Mansfield in Massachusetts. The narrow track width was ideally suited to the mountainous terrain, and the maneuverability of the trains proved highly beneficial to companies and passengers traveling to remote locations. The narrow...

The New York Central System

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) A full generation has passed since a New York Central emblem dashed across the countryside on a railroad car, but few could ever forget "the greatest railroad in the world." The New York Central System grew from an amalgamation of smaller lines stretching from Albany to Buffalo in the 1830s. Twenty years later, the lines were gathered into a single company. Its phenomenal success did not go unnoticed by Cornelius "the Commodore" Vanderbilt. In his late sixties, when most men retire, he methodically started acquiring railroads in the New York City and Hudson River region. He then acquired the...

Steam Trains and Jigsaw Puzzles

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) "Steam Trains and Jigsaw Puzzles" strikes most people as an intriguing title. The origin is simple, however - my trainspotting youth has been synchronized with a later interest in jigsaw puzzles. The result is expensive - I have a collection of over 250 jigsaws depicting British steam railways. The conclusion is impossible - there are over 500 steam railway jigsaw puzzles to collect and they are being supplemented annually. The Liverpool & Manchester Railway marked the arrival of the true passenger railway service in 1830 and presented jigsaw manufacturers with another subject on which to...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) On May 16, 1853, the first passenger train steamed out of Toronto from a wooden depot that was located near the site of today s Union Station. Over the next century, the railways had a profound impact on the geography and economic fortunes of Toronto and helped transform it from a provincial town into the commercial centre of Canada. To the dismay of many, the railways also swallowed up prime real estate on Toronto s waterfront and isolated its citizens from Lake Ontario, the city s most scenic asset. The struggle between the promoters of unfettered railway development and crusaders for...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Although several people had considered constructing a railroad to Key West beginning in the early 1800s, it took a bold industrialist with unparalleled vision to make it happen. In 1902, Henry Flagler made the decision to extend the Florida East Coast Railway to "the nearest deepwater American port." In this book, renowned Florida historian Seth H.
