Fascinating history of the how the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Reading Railroad, after years of determined competition, merged their New Jersey lines to create the Seashore Lines. The railroads to the shore were once called the spine of the beaches, serving the summer visitors and freight needs of the area for decades. The author covers the rivalry, including the dueling ferry services across the Delaware River, and then follows the merger through the good years and the bad, ending with the takeover by Conrail in 1976. Illustrated on almost every page with informatively captioned black and white photos. With steam, diesel and passenger equipment rosters, maps and timetables. 104 pages.
