Focusing on the historical significance of the Lackawanna Railroad, this book chronicles its evolution from its 1851 inception, driven by anthracite coal traffic, to its integration into the Erie Lackawanna Railway in 1960. It highlights a major modernization effort in the early 1900s, captured through extensive photography commissioned by the company. These images offer a unique glimpse into the railroad's daily operations and its relationship with surrounding communities, many of which still thrive along its original routes today.
