Steelways of New England
by
Alvin F. Harlow



COPYRIGHT: 1946 / 1st edition
PUBLISHER: Creative Age
PAGES: 461 pgs measuring 5.5" x 8"
CONDITION: Blue cloth boards with slight spine soiling and edge fading. Corner shows mild wear and bumping. No previous ownership marks, nameplates, inscriptions, etc. No hinge cracking outside at neither the front nor back. There is minor and expected foxing here and there throughout the book. All pages and covers are tight to the spine. A very solid book! No missing pages (verified). No dustjacket.

As American railway pioneers, the modest New England Yankees have been strangely overlooked. Much has been made of the first Baltimore and Ohio train and of the early locomotives in other states, but the truth is that New England men have been among the greatest railroad builders and operators in all America.

Look, for example, at this record of “firsts"
• The first railroad in America was a horse-operated line out of Quincy MA.
• The first design for a sleeping car was made by a Massachusetts man, thirty-five years before Pullman.
• The first vestibule train was operated in Connecticut in 1857.
• The first ambitious tunneling project in the country was the construction of the Hoosac Tunnel in 1855.
• The first three transcontinental railroad lines were built, run and financed by New Englanders.


The struggles, successes and failures of these pioneers, as told in STEELWAYS OF NEW ENGLAND, will prove unexpectedly colorful and, in the perspective of time, amusing, to those reading their story for the first time. Alvin F. Harlow is particularly well suited to the job of being their historian, for it is his belief that history need never be dull: when kept down to earth, treated as the story of people rather than governments and spiced with accounts of the quirks of human character, it is fascinating. Now, in STEELWAYS OF NEW ENGLAND, the reader encounters his unstudiedly vivacious, anecdotal style of history at its best.
