Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) By 1908 Hartford had an extensive system of streetcar lines radiating from the city in all directions.

By the 1920s, the lighter density streetcar lines were no longer lucrative and the system was converted to a motor coach operation; by the early 1930s, the automobile had replaced the streetcar as the...

Pittsburg, Shawmut & Northern Railroad
ISBN: 9781531699550 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Pittsburg (no h ), Shawmut & Northern Railroad was described by locals as a railroad that started nowhere and ended no place, with a lot of nothing in between, although it actually linked the coal mines of Elk County, Pennsylvania, with markets in Cattaraugus, Allegany, and Steuben Counties in central and western New York State. Always an underdog, the Class I line went into bankruptcy a mere five years after its corporate birth, holding the record for the longest receivership of any American railroad at 42 years. Always starved for cash, it limped along with outdated and tired equipment,...

Pennsylvania Main Line Railroad Stations: Philadelphia to Harrisburg
ISBN: 9781531699024 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In 1857, the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) took over Pennsylvania s Main Line of Public Works, a state-owned railroad and canal system built in the 1830s. Costly to build and maintain, and never attracting the traffic needed to sustain it, the state was eager to let it go. Keeping the rail portion and combining it with its own lines, the PRR ultimately developed a well-built and well-run rail line from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh all while keeping the main line moniker. The eastern section between Philadelphia and Harrisburg was especially successful, particularly after the railroad built new...

ISBN: 9781531698027 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) When the first logging railroad was built in Jasper County in the 1870s, the virgin East Texas forest spread across a vast area the size of Indiana. That first eight-mile logging line heralded a boom era of lumbering and railroading that would last well into the 20th century. Before the era was over, thousands of miles of logging railroads would be built, and hundreds of communities would spring up along their routes. As times changed, the mills closed and nearly all of the early rail lines were abandoned, but most of the communities they helped establish survived those changes and thrive...

Lake Tahoe's Railroads
ISBN: 9781540200297 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Lake Tahoe is the majestic mountain lake that spans the boundary line of California and Nevada. The lake s clarity and scenic beauty are legendary. In the 1870s, the Nevada Comstock Lode created an insatiable appetite for Lake Tahoe s virgin pine forests. The timbers would shore up underground mining and build communities approaching 40,000 inhabitants. Railroads on three shores delivered the logs lakeside, where they were towed by steam-powered tugs to sawmills, to lumber flumes, and again by rail to their final destinations. As the mines and giant lake pines subsided, railroads pushed...
