THE STORY OF WESTCHESTER'S "MILLION-DOLLAR" RAILROAD!

With a lifespan of a mere quarter-century, the New York, Westchester & Boston Railway was one of the most controversial transportation projects of its time. Backed by financier J.P. Morgan, a new railroad pushed north from the Bronx into the suburban wilds of Westchester County. Touted as the finest example of a modern suburban railway built from the ground up, "The Westchester" was destined for failure. The declining fortunes of its parent, the mighty New Haven railroad, would drag The Westchester into bankruptcy and eventual liquidation. The fascinating photos in this 62-page softcover book tell the story of this unusual project, shrouded in mystery and controversy.
