| Connecticut Whistle Stops: Greenwich to New Haven (Images of America) |
| By : Lennie Grimaldi |
The book progresses from west to east, covering the communities of Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, South Norwalk, Westport, Fairfield, Bridgeport, Stratford and Milford, and New Haven. There is also a brief introduction about the history and people behind the NH, and how the railroad grew to its apex at the dawn of the 20th century. Each chapter opens with a brief description of the town, giving you a comfortable feel for the area so well-known by the author. The photos in this book illustrate clearly the growth of the New Haven, expansion into electrification, modernization with diesels, and eventual surrender to successors Conrail, Amtrak, and Metro-North.
