Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is part of a series of descriptive, illustrated travel guides that highlight many points of interest and stops along the Western Railroad, between Boston and Albany. The author embarked on this railway journey several years ago since other surveys had been completed and published but were incomplete or outdated. The author's main purpose is to provide travelers with delightful insights that make train travel more pleasant and encourages those who may not travel by rail to experience the joys of train travel. It serves as a great resource for those interested in the social history of early railway development in New England in the nineteenth century. Along with detailed charts and maps, the book includes an introduction and a brief history of American railroad development. Then it delineates every station and point of interest along the Western and Boston & Worcester Railroads, the length of the lines in miles, distances between stations and principal places, all the depots and stations, with brief profiles of major towns and cities, stage routes, and more. With this book, you'll learn of the construction of the Albany and West Stockbridge Railroad and its completion under a lease from the Western Railroad. The author has also included valuable historical information on sites and areas of natural beauty visible from the train route. Throughout, the author provides readers with meticulous details like the graded road, river crossings, milestones, and station by station accounts of scenery and local industries.
