This atlas of railroads in New York's Capital Region (Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Saratoga Springs, Mechanicville, Colonie, Green Island, Rotterdam Junction, etc.) has 180 full color, high quality maps printed on glossy paper for easy viewing. An index aids in finding specific maps, and a detailed description of them is given on each page.

Because this hardcover book will be self-published at great expense, only 150 "collector's edition" books will be printed. Once they're gone, they're gone forever, no doubt someday soon becoming a collector's item like other books by this author!

UPDATE: The Collector's Edition has sold out, but the author ordered another 350 copies. They do not say "collector's edition" but it is still a hardcover, full color book.

Maps cover the years 1840 to 2019, emphasizing the late 1800s and early 1900s at the peak of railroading. Detailed maps include the West Albany Shops, Colonie Shops, Green Island Shops, Rensselaer Shops, John Street Shops, Bull Run Yard, Selkirk Yard,  Mechanicville Yard, Adams Street Yard, and the union stations of Albany, Troy, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs. Smaller communities are also shown, such as the covered turntable at Salem, the yard at Ravena, the maze of tracks at Green Island, and the facilities at Rotterdam Junction. Several large industries that extensively utilized the railroads were added, such as General Electric, Schenectady Locomotive Works, International Paper, the Port of Albany, and the factories in North Albany/Menands.

Price: $54.95 each plus shipping and tax (if applicable), limit of two per customer. 202 pages. For shipping to international addresses, please use eBay.
