Viewing Norfolk Southern Railway

Regular price $32.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 248): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Viewing Norfolk Southern Railway covers the history of this railroad, beginning with the South Carolina Canal & Rail Road Company, which in 1830 operated the first regularly scheduled passenger train in the United States. Among the many railroads that became part of Norfolk Southern was the Pennsylvania Railroad, whose completion of the Horseshoe Curve in 1854 was an outstanding engineering achievement that transformed land transportation across Pennsylvania, contributing to the growth of the railroad. By 1882, it became the largest railroad in the world. Norfolk Southern's special painted locomotives, representing many of the railroads that became part of its heritage, are included in this book.

9781634994750
Regular price $25.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 248): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Pennsylvania's history is intrinsic to our understanding of America's expansion. As the second state in the nation, much of America's early industrial history can be traced back to Pennsylvania and its two largest cities, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Not only was the Declaration of Independence signed in Philadelphia in 1776, it was also the capital city of the United States from 1790-1800.
More than two centuries later, evidence of much of this history is slowly being erased from our present-day landscape. For the armchair urban explorer and history buff alike, Abandoned Pennsylvania: Industry and Endings takes a journey through Pennsylvania's, industrial, recreational, correctional, and educational past. The irreplaceable Inn at Buck Hill Falls, and the anchor of a small industrial town, Scranton Lace Factory, were once bustling cogs in a growing state's fortunes; a fireplace and a clock tower are all that remains to remind us of their existence. For others, such as the Transfiguration of Our Lord Church and Thomas Edison High School, nothing remains. In their place is an athletic field and Save-A-Lot store and parking lot. Industry and Endings illuminates the regrettable fact that our hunger for progress is outstripping our respect for the past.

Abandoned Albany
9781634994606
Regular price $24.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 248): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Abandoned structures are places that open the imagination and invite interpretation. Exploration of their rusted, rotted remnants ensures stories of the forgotten continue to be told. While often overlooked by passers-by, their skeletal remains, weathered paint, and patina act as the perfect subject for the lens of a camera, quietly waiting to be documented and shared with the world.
In Abandoned Albany: Relics Of The Capital District, Nashville-based photographer and author, Jay Farrell, takes readers through the forgotten corners of Capitaland on a series of explorations. This collection of beautifully haunting photos and narratives help viewers envision these places in their glory days. Now in their post-apocalyptic state, readers feel every cold gust of wind, and hear every creaking steel door and breaking shard of glass.
Being an Albany native, Jay has the advantage of a home base in Albany with family, friends, and personal memories of some of these now abandoned treasures. Tobin's First Prize, Altec Steel in Watervliet, Fownes glove factory in Amsterdam, and other former Capitaland icons are featured in this book, long after the last whistle blew and the final puff of smoke belched from its smokestacks.
Graveyards of the Wild West: California
9781634994743
Regular price $25.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 248): Computation results in '-Infinity'%California is one of several states that make up the Wild West in the United States. It was first established as a U.S. a territory in 1848. The state that would become California was, like so much of the West, originally inhabited by Native Americans and, in the sixteenth century, colonized by Spain as part of Mexico. After the Mexican-American War (1846–1848), the United States acquired the land that eventually became Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and California. As with other Southwest states, precious metals were found in the late nineteenth century, and pioneers, miners, cowboys, and outlaws converged on “The Golden State.” California attained statehood in 1850. Of course, with an influx of residents comes a new need for graveyards. The cemeteries of the pioneer and mining towns carry on even as the towns have fallen to ruins. Many California graveyards linger in obscurity in out-of-the-way places (Garlock-Goler, Keeler), while others are popular tourist attractions (Bodie). Regardless of their conditions, the cemeteries offer powerful and precious reminders of California's wild history.

It's everywhere you go! From the subways to the streets, from parks to bars, from churches to concert halls. Music in all its glorious forms, sometimes sublime and sometimes spectacular, is a vital part of city life and has been for centuries. Whether a pair of dueling drummers on 42nd Street or break-dancers in Washington Square Park, a mural in the Village or a memorial to John Lennon—New Yorkers celebrate their musical heritage every day in so many ways. So many of the country's best-known musicians have lived or played in New York over the years. Come along on this visual journey through time and catch a glimpse at some of the people and places who have contributed to the Beat of New York.

Have you ever questioned what's inside that boarded-up building you pass by? This book features photographs that will show readers a glimpse inside these decaying, haunting places and make them question why some were so quickly left behind.
The city of Chicago is home to around 2.7 million people. Each year, more Chicago churches, schools, and businesses are permanently closing. Many will sit for sale in hopes of being used again or hopefully renovated into something different. Sketchy floors, dark hallways, and flooded basements won't stop explorer Alison Doshen from stepping inside and continuing to share these places through her photographs.

Let us not forget the old-time gas station with the ding-ding, mechanic on duty, full-service gas pumps, and travel maps. Old defunct churches (from the days of outhouses and hand fans as air conditioners), a hidden one-room schoolhouse, antique cars and trucks slowly sinking into the fields, and so much more are showcased in this nostalgic title.

Regular price $22.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 248): Computation results in '-Infinity'%At the beginning of the twentieth century, an assortment of upstart dreamers and pioneers living on Amelia Island made a series of innovations that would revolutionize commercial shrimping. Master fishermen, net makers, and boat builders from different parts of the world gravitated to the island, and this infusion of people from diverse backgrounds and cultures created a truly unique community.
Shrimping and its symbiotic industries brought economic stability to an area in desperate need of direction, and the colorful characters that came along with the tide have become part of the island's identity: past, present, and future. History is alive, and so are the people who make it.

Regular price $23.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 248): Computation results in '-Infinity'%The railroad station was at the heart of every town the trains passed through on Delmarva. These buildings were more than walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs--they served as the very heartbeat of their community. More than freight and passengers traveled through these buildings. News came in from the outside world, family members arrived home, and in a number of cases, they served as the town meeting place or a spot for locals to "chew the fat."
From grand three-story structures designed by some of America's most famous architects to small stations described by locals as nothing more than goat barns, the railroad stations of Delmarva ran the gamut of architectural design. Some rail lines chose a standard design to rapidly construct their stations while other lines chose a more unique design and varied construction methods. At its peak, the railroad stations of Delmarva numbered nearly 400 strong. Passenger service ended long ago, and with it most of these structures were eventually torn down. Thankfully, several stations survive today, and it is these monuments that we travel to in the pages of this book.

With outboard motors and prohibition, the Delta became an escape for metropolitan Californians. Then WWII brought the internment of Japanese, military installations, the draft, and the importation of Mexican braceros.
Even before WWII, the Delta was key to water distribution and habitat restoration. After the war, its water was sought for agriculture and cities. While the Delta's farms and marinas are valued, its worth as habitat and water conveyance is contested.
Responding to trends throughout California, this anthology chronicles unique voices from Delta inhabitants across generations.
