Your bid is for SHORELINER, Volume 24, Number 2, 1993, published by the New Haven Railroad Historical & Technical Association, Inc. This high-quality publication measures 21.5 by 27.9 cm and contains 40 pages with Editor-Publisher William G. Dulmaine, Jr. The cover photo shows class engine FA-1 No.0400 shortly after repainting in the Alpert era, in a J.W. Swanberg photo taken at Cedar Hill on 31 December 1961. The inside front cover photo shows Standard No.2006 running along on fine track at an unidentified date and location from the Swanberg collection. This photo is worth 1,000 words, probably more from a BS artist like Alden. "Wire Train" on 2 pages includes a large unidentified photo of GE Motor No.0112, and a letter concerning Pine Tree State, an excursion flyer reproduction and Uniform Caps for Engine Crews demonstrated in a fine photo. IN A MANNER TO WHICH HE WAS ACCUSTOMED by Wayne Drummond concerned Patrick B. McGinnis and his hi-rail Cadillac with the PBM license plate. All shown over 2 pages in 4 fine PR photos. I own his B&M 1961 Operating Rule Book No.1, with his name embossed on the cover in gold. Wonder who's got the Caddy now? NEW HAVEN'S RUBBER TIRE FLEET by Wayne D. Drummond is a 10-page captioned photo story, with the first 4 photos in color, followed by 17 more in B&W. Here you'll find box trucks, utility vehicles, Trailiner vans, dump trucks, pickup trucks, and even a 1930's auto carrier. Great stuff here for the modeler or antique vehicle enthusiast. BAISLEY'S LAST RUN by C.A. Brown is a captioned photo on a single page of a dolled-up I-2 No.1334. A RARE MATCHED McGINNIS LASHUP by J.W. Swanberg is a single page introduction to the centerfold color photo of three ALCO cab units in the new McGinnis scheme. Six decades after introduction, and Herbert Matter's design logo is still polishing the former New Haven RR Company rails. NEW HAVEN RDC is a 10-page staff article devoted to informing us about the RDC's and where they ran when, and how scheduled for maximum service and mileage. There are 14 representative photos included so you'll get the picture. These WERE marvelous 90 MPH machines as my own transportation experiences in New England will testify. SHORE LINE WRECK, DETOUR ROUTING by Brad Smith shows and tells about a January 1964 wreck at Westerly, Rhode Island, and the resulting detours. Plus, how the New Haven was set up for exactly such detours with a schedule of what routes would be used when a certain route was blocked and transfers were not in order. Amtrak take notice please! This fine piece covers 8 pages and includes 4 photos in color, 5 B&W, a condensed detour arrangement, and a map from a 1955 PTT so you can follow the logic. Sadly, this type of wreck was an all too common occurrence in the 1960's as U.S. railroads drastically reduced both track and rolling stock maintenance. The rear cover is a fine color photo of a NH truck crane taken in Providence in 1967 by Gary Westgate. This magazine is in unread, new-old-stock, as-published condition. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. Please see my other eBay auctions for more rare and scarce railroad paper. I provide personal service while trying to keep things simple. Please check my feedback and DSR's. Everything I sell is POSTPAID USA, so the winning bid is what you pay, plus eBay’s state tax if applicable, unless you want special services. I normally ship the first day after the auction ends IF eBay provides a packing slip. Thank you for reading. Alden Dreyer, 91 Reynolds Road, Shelburne MA 01370-9649. Copyright by AHD June 2025.
