This past weekend I was in Oneonta, NY Cooperstown and Ritchfield Springs also Mohawk and Johnstown.

Any books out on these railways?

One was called Oneonta, Cooperstown & Ritchfield Springs Railway according to a 1900 map that was hanging inside the Oneonta historical society. Says it crumped in 1923 and th connection to Mohawk closed in 1934.

aline1969-Sorry, I can't help you with any publications on the line(s) but you can find some pictures of this operation at:

NOTE-takes a LONG time to download if you're using a dial-up connection.

BTW-Dave's Railpix has to be one of the best sites on the web for trolley, interurban and electric railroad photos. The top level address for this site is:
