About this title

Synopsis:

This book features over 150 of the best b&w photographs taken for the Nickel Plate Roads publicity department by commercial photographers and later by Nickel Plates own official photographers. Filled with nostalgic photos of steam and diesel passenger and freight trains, cars, facilities, depots, shops and people. Each landscape photograph is fully identified with a caption that describes when, where and what is pictured. This delightful combination of photos and text tells the story of the Nickel Plate Road and its early photographers in the 1940s and 50s.
