Railway books on the New York state

Apologize Otto. But, he was born and raised and buried in Elmira and his grandfather was instrumental in the Williamsport and Elmira.

Jervis B. Langdon was a native of Elmira noted for his work with CRI&P, B&O, PC, AMTRAK. He Rests In Peace shoulder to shoulder next to his inlaw Samuel Clemens in Elmira. He is definitely a New York railroad topic.

I know who Jarvis Langdon was, but the topic is books related to New York State railroading, not books by people from New York State, books that mention New York State, etc etc...

-otto-

It's OK. I posted B&O, CRI&P, PC forums. We do need to stick with the topic.

greetings folks... im interested in some of the "morning sun" books off this list. for those that have them, are they worth the 50$ or more? ive searched on this board and saw some folks who seem to like them and others who want more history (i took this as text) than what is presented.

The reason why I have bought Morning Sun books was to get a glimpse of the pre Conrail era and not for the history, as I have other books for that. As to price/quality I think $50,- is a bit stiff for what I consider is merrely a photo book at that size. As to their book series: (fill in any Conrail predessor) in color, I am the opinion that with there latter releases Morning Sun as milked this cow completely dry, since to me there was a considerable degradation in the quality of photos in the latter releases of this series, which was most blatantly visible in the Reading series. And after buying one sample of the Trackside series I decided not to add any more on my wish list. But that is only a matter of taste.

To summarize: the ones I have allow me to get a glimpse of an era I was not able to witness myself, but it is very likely there will be no more additions.

We call then "$60 Slide Shows." They are often very nice collections of color images on a given subject. The ones I refer to the most are the Color Guides to equipment. These have roster shots that I use as a reference for modeling and writing. Thumb through one at your local hobby shop or train show book dealer... take it or leave it!

The advances in color printing, digital photography and reporduction, has made such books easy to put together and market, even inexpensive to produce. Usually only the writing of the captions and maybe a cursory paragraph here or there is all the "research" that goes into the book. The more historically oriented the photographer-writer-editor, usually the more valuable the pictures and thus, the book. I don't want to take anything away from the really good photographers; they deserve all the kudo's they can get. But too often today's picture books contain the same picture over and over and over again. Only the color or the number of the locomotive is different; the train fills the picture rather than bring attention to itself. You can't tell the setting because the train fills the frame. Head on shots are so common they are boring! Roster shots are one thing (and invaluable to modelers) but just a shot is just a shot. Over use of the zoom is another problem that keeps newer books from being unremarkable. (And these problems concerning photography and subject aren't confined to railroading; with digital as inexpensive as it is, almost everyone and anyone can take pictures, even with a cell phone! Ansome Graham Bell, noted photographer....!) There are many railfan books produced each month and each year, but few contain the painstaking research and writing that brings us new or useful information concerning the subject. Except to show that somebody was there at that hour on that day to take the picture.

thanks for the responses folks... the nyo&w and l&hr books are of great interest (well, after seeing the whole prod line, quite a few look nice), i may just take my lumps and get them. one prob is that i havent seen this line of books at my local hobby shop, or other book stores. i have found several of the books at some online shops that are decent though.

Hmmm.... I would add the 1974 Inventory of Abandoned Railroads in New York State:
http://russnelson.com/inventory/

I know, they're more like the program for a funeral, but they're very valuable for the railroad historian.

Today there seem a strong tendency of making books on any subject with a strong emphasis on pictures, much to my chagrin . But it seems people prefer to look at pictures (and even more so when these are moving) as reading. The ease a book can be made today will hav its impact on the quality for sure and not always positive.

Well that is my kind of book, a picture should supprt the text not the other way round .

henry6 wrote: You can't tell the setting because the train fills the frame.

The comment I hear the most as to my photos; the train is to small!!

henry6 wrote:Over use of the zoom is another problem that keeps newer books from being unremarkable.

Please elaborate a bit more on that, do you mean the use of zoom lenses in order to have the train filling the frame or?

henry6 wrote:almost everyone and anyone can take pictures, even with a cell phone!

Worse yet some people do not even care for proper exposure anymore; they will take care of that using a photo editor. The capability of triggering the shutter does not mean you are capable of making photos! Most people make pictures and just that.

To end with a brigth note: occasionaly well written and researched books do appear, and if all books that are released on the subject of railways would be woth while buying one would quickly run in to money and space constraints .

The problem with commenting on this subject is to be taken broadly by generalizations. Yes, there is a tendency to use a zoom to fill a frame rather than get a picture yet there are times a zoom picture is perfect; it is when you get such distortions because of zoom that it becomes, let's say, annoying....let the photographer decide what is too big or too small, let him decide what he wants to portray and depict in his pictures...There are many well done photograph books, usually by fan oriented publishers, but there are many books by the likes of Barnes and Noble, etc., that are done just to sell cheap books. These often contain misinformation about trains and railroads, too.

Morning Sun Books are basically somebody's slides done into books. Consider the photographer before considering the book.
You see color pictures in the magazines all of the time and we should all know who the photographers are who do these
photographs.
Morning Sun Books are not history books and if you are looking for more than the very basic of information on a particular
railroad or line, forget it.
I have a fair number of Morning Sun Books, some of them are worth the money and some are not worth the money.
Problem today is that many books are only available by mail order or if in a hobby shop they are wrapped and not available
to brouse through so you pay your money and take your chance.

I don't have an issue with books that are primarily based on photography. Not everyone is a historian, and I would rather somebody produce a well-done book of their photos than not publish at all because they don't have the time or inclination to write a lot of text.

The ability to self-publish books today should be a good thing. I agree that some books will be of lesser quality, but that is up to the buyer to decide if they want to spend the money. It was very difficult to publish in the past. Historical societies are often cliquish, and books have too often been selected for help and publishing based on whether the author is part of the ‘in crowd’ or not. Hopefully this will change for the better.
