Books with author B. Carleton

His name was John F. Elkington, and he had held an honored post for more than thirty years. Then, just as his regiment, in the closing months of 1914, was going into the fighting on the Western front, he was cashiered for an unrevealed error and deprived of the opportunity to serve his country

Fascinating black and white pictorial of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, the Erie, and the Erie Lackawanna. Although there is a brief history of each line, the central focus is pictures -- wonderfully crisp pictures of steam, gas-electric and diesel locomotives, foreign and guest power, trains in action, and stations up and down the lines. If only for a few hours, the Erie comes back to life. With maps, advertisements, etc. 479 pages.
