The New York, Westchester & Boston Railway, 1906-1946


Book Description

The New York, Westchester & Boston Railway was a high-speed electric commuter railroad that was built ahead of its time. This 21-mile interurban railway served the bucolic suburbs of Westchester County from an out-of-the-way terminal at Harlem River, in the Bronx. Built and controlled by the New Haven, economics and politics would see this line removed from the landscape just before its true value could be realized. Author Robert A. Bang guides you through this journey on Westchester County's "forgotten railroad" with many never-before-published photographs and illustrations.
