Two fold-outs in rear pocket. DJ worn, torn, soiled and chipped. Edges soiled. In notation on fep. Helmer was born on November 12, 1926, in Oneida, NY. Bill earned an A.A.S. in Auto Mechanics at Morrisville Agricultural & Technical Institute and a B.A. at the New York State College for Teachers at Albany. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Old English Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. Bill had a lifelong fascination with railroading and wrote two railroad histories: O&W: The Long Life and Slow Death of the New York, Ontario & Western Railway (1959), considered a classic in the genre, and Rip Van Winkle Railroads (1970), deemed to be a definitive history of railroading in the northern Catskills. Bill was featured in the documentary, Rails to the Catskills. He had extraordinary knowledge about Upstate New York history and his ancestors who settled in the Mohawk Valley in the 1700s. The New York, Ontario and Western Railway, more commonly known as the O&W or NYO&W, was a regional railroad with origins in 1868, lasting until March 29, 1957 when it was ordered liquidated by a US bankruptcy judge. It was the first notable U.S. railroad with its mainline entirely abandoned. The railroad began life as the New York and Oswego Midland Railroad, organized by Dewitt C. Littlejohn in 1868. Its mainline extended from Weehawken, New Jersey, in the greater New York City area to Oswego, New York, a port city on Lake Ontario. It had branch lines to Scranton, Pennsylvania; Kingston, New York; Port Jervis, New York; Monticello, New York; Delhi, New York; Utica, New York and Rome, New York. The part south of Cornwall, New York, was operated over the New York Central Railroad's West Shore Railroad via trackage rights.

First Edition
First edition. First edition. 8vo. Presentation inscription by the author. Affixed to the back side of the front fly leaf is a small envelope which contains a facsimile copy from The Syracuse Post-Standard dated Thursday, April 7, 1988, that details some of the history of the O & W from an interview with the author. Gray cloth, titles and decoration stamped in green, colored pictorial endpapers, xiii [1], 211 pp., frontis., preface, illustrated, plates, portraits, maps, tables, two folded maps in a rear pocket, bibliography, acknowledgments. The O. & W. began operation in 1866, beginning in Oswego, New York and ending in Weehawken, New Jersey, outside of New York City. The railway had the unique distinction of running through many small because the money for the railroad came through the sale of railroad bonds to small towns and villages. The line for many years carried passengers to Catskill mountain resorts, but it's main profit came from carrying agricultural and mining products. The line closed in 1957, largely due to the further development of both the automobile and the tractor-trailers. Former owner's small label on front fly leaf, else very good in lightly rubbed dust jacket.
