The third in a series of titles covering railroad operations around Port Jervis, New York, this book will cover the time from the Erie Lackawanna Railway’s merger with five other bankrupt railroads to form Conrail in 1976 through the end of Conrail operations in 1999. Also covered are local commuter operations during the same time period by Metro-North and NJ Transit, as well as freight operations via trackage rights by the Susquehanna. Ample coverage is also given to the changes in local railroad infrastructure and the litany of excursion operations conducted into and through Port Jervis in the 1980s and 1990s. The extensively researched text is illustrated with over 150 never-before-seen all-color photographs.
