The primary intent of Mountain Railroads of New York State is to assist the reader in the location of railroad grades, primarily abandoned, in the field. For future historians, these four volumes date, as best as possible, the period of service of each line and major industry. Many references to further, more detailed, reading on the lines are provided, especially on topics which cannot be included here: forestry, geology, finances, biographies of railroad builders, political, and social aspects, etc. A secondary intent for Mountain Railroads of New York State is to provide detailed itineraries for passengers riding on existing trains for a fuller, richer appreciation of historic sites and interpretation of natural sights along the right-of-way. Volume I consisted of two parts: The first part introduced the reader to Adirondack topics, rather than to specific geographic areas. The intention is to assist researchers working on subjects like railroads and forest products, railroads and agricultural products, railroads and mining products, railroads and agriculture, railroads and passengers, etc. The first part consists of ten chapters. The second part is geographically structured, railroad by railroad, line by line, branch by branch, station by station. Softbound, 8.5x11, 263 pages, illustrated with numerous photos, 100+ maps.
