Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Beginnings of the New York Central Railroad' is a detailed historical account of the emergence and early growth of one of America's most influential transportation systems. Frank Walker Stevens provides an authoritative look at the complex process of consolidating numerous small, localized rail lines into the powerful network that would eventually dominate the northeastern United States.
