NWHS Commissary: A Trip by Rail in the Shenandoah Valley

[NW Mailing List]

*A Trip by Rail in the Shenandoah
Valley*<http://www.nwhs.org/commissary/new.html>

Written by NWHS member Bob Cohen, this book covers the B&O and Southern
Railway line in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley: from Brunswick to Harpers
Ferry on the mainline and then all the way up the Valley, 163 more miles in
all, to Lexington, Virginia, via Strasburg and Harrisonburg.

Each station and its community is included with a basic history along with
individual passenger station data. Every passenger station along that
right-of-way is covered and nearly all have photographs, most from “way
back when.”

Coverage is also included for other railroads that crossed or interchanged
with the B&O and Southern at various points along the main line. This is
the case at Charlestown, Winchester, Strasburg, Harrisonburg, Staunton and
Lexington where the N&W, Pennsylvania RR, Winchester & Western, and C&O
receive noteworthy attention.

Profusely illustrated with over 100 images, nine different maps, each
strategically placed throughout the narrative, all help guide the reader
through a region that has received far too little historical coverage up to
the present.

Hardcover 160 pages, b/w and color images

Retail: $59.95, member $49.95
