Description: SCENES ALONG THE RAILS is the anchor title of a continuing series of books devoted to the exploration of northeastern railroads in the 1875-1925 era. Period photographs, many appearing in print for the first time, feature stations, motive power, freight and passenger trains, community and trackside industries, "main street" views, and vacation retreats. The regional development of each line is summarized to provide historical background. Wrapped around the pictures, the main text is made up of descriptive captions that personalize and add depth to the given scenes. Detailed maps are included for quick reference. Part 2 focuses on the lands north and west of Wilkes-Barre, PA, encompassing the small but productive Bernice semi-anthracite coal field and the vast woodlands that supplied raw material for a succession of lumber companies. The Lehigh Valley's mainline between Wilkes-Barre and Sayre, PA is detailed as are the Bowman's Creek, Ganoga Lake, and State Line & Sullivan branches. The ill-fated Pittsburg, Binghamton & Eastern; the Williamsport & North Branch; the Susquehanna & New York; the Eagles Mere; the Susquehanna & Eagles Mere; the Bloomsburg & Sullivan; and the Susquehanna, Bloomsburg & Berwick lines are also covered in this informative tour of railroading in the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania. 152 pages, 192 b&w illustrations, 5 maps.
