The Route of the Orange Limited Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)William Gordon's book succinctly narrates the history of the Rochester & Eastern Rapid Railway which connected Rochester to Geneva from 1904 to 1930. The corporate history of the company and the personal history of its employees share the pages of this book with many photographs, too many of which are unfortunately uncaptioned.
The book reflects a mix of boosterism and nostalgia. The early decades of the enterprise bask in excitement which meets the almost unfair reality of progress through the automobile and economics of teh Great Depression.
I reccomend the book to fans of interurban transit and other railfans, to historians of the region, and to anyone looking for a slice of life from the first half of the twentieth century.
