New York Ontario and Western in the Diesel Age by: Mohowski, Robert E.
Softcover. Andover NJ, Andover Junction Publications, 1st, 1994, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 96 pages, color pictorial cover, b&w (and a few color) photos nearly every page throughout, binding tight, text unmarked. Interesting and well-done history of the "Old Woman," the New York, Ontario & Western Railroad, followed by an examination of the period before and after World War II when the O&W adopted diesels in the hope that it would save the line from financial ruin. Although the O&W did go under in 1957, the author argues that the diesels extended its life by about a decade.
