About this title

Synopsis

In this unique handbook, John H. Roy, Jr., provides a comprehensive guide to every railroad station, depot, and freight house that still survives in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Arranged alphabetically by state and station name, each of the 467 entries includes a photograph of the structure, the date it was built, its use today, and brief historical and architectural notes. Handy appendices provide notes on 35 recently lost or demolished structures, a list of stations that survive on rail trails, an index to architects who designed these buildings, and cross references to the original rail lines which built or operated them. Rail fans and modelers, architecture enthusiasts, local history buffs, and historical preservationists will find a wealth of information to help them explore this important aspect of New England's architectural and railroad heritage.
