The Delaware; Lackawanna Western Railroad; better known as the Lackawanna Railroad; was organized in 1851 and thrived on the anthracite coal traffic originating from the area surrounding Scranton; Pennsylvania. The company came to operate a network of track between Hoboken; New Jersey; and Buffalo; New York; before becoming part of the Erie Lackawanna Railway in 1960. During the first decade of the 1900s; the railroad underwent a substantial modernization and improvement project; which was documented extensively by company-hired photographers. A century later; these images provide a fascinating insight into the everyday workings of a railroad and its interaction with the communities along its route. Nearly all of the railroad territory covered by this book remains in operation today.

CookHavent yet had an opportunity to do more than read through - but its exciting and inspiring and makes we want to get started as soon as time permits. Shared it with a friend who teaches homeschool art classes - she definitely wants to include these ideas into her classes. The fun part when I read more about the author was discovering that I have one of her pictures on my wall...which I purchased at Pier One.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
