In a new book written by Kenneth Springirth and published by Arcadia Publishing, more than 200 vintage photographs highlight the history of a railroad that, faced with declining revenues, launched steam-powered passenger service in 1962. Springirth hopes the book will “focus attention on this railroad whose management and employees have made the extra effort to preserve its history that has meant so much to the communities it has served in southwestern Wyoming County, New York.” Arcade and Attica Railroad features never-before-seen vintage photographs from both public and private collections, documents the history of the oldest continuously operating railroad under the same corporate identity in New York state, relives the excitement of the railroads past freight and passenger service and pays tribute to the management and employees of the railroad for their extra effort to preserve history. Arcadia Publishing is the leading publisher of local and regional history in the United State with a mission is to make history accessible and meaningful through the publication of books on the heritage of America’s people and places. Springirth, 70, is a native of Philadelphia. Since 1959, he has been researching, photographing and collecting information on railroad and trolley car lines in the United States and in many foreign countries. Springirth graduated from Lansdowne Aldan High School in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania in 1957. In 1962 he earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia. Springirth wanted to author a publication that acknowledges the contribution of the Arcade and Attica Railroad to the development of southwestern Wyoming County. Springirth is a member of the Light Rail Transit Association of England and the Kenosha Streetcar Society of Kenosha, Wisconsin. He says he “hopes that [the] book will focus attention on this railroad whose management and employees have made the extra effort to preserve this historic railroad that has meant so much to the communities it has served in southwestern Wyoming County.” Springirth says that he views this, his eighth book, as a contribution to the transportation history of southwestern New York. The book is available at area bookstores, independent retailers and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at 888-313-2665 or www.arcadiapublishing.com. |
