A new book telling all about the Hampden Railroad has just been published.
This is the line that connected the Central Mass to Springfield to connect with the New Haven and New York traffic.
Great book, lots of new and never seen pictures!!
Limited first printings are available direct from the author.

For anyone interested is learning more about the Hampden Railroad, I will be presenting a PPT show at Holyoke Library on Saturday April 26 2014, 2-14 starting at 2 PM.
Copies of the book will be available at the presentation.
This past week, I was at Palmer Library, well attended program.
I am looking for local bookstores to sell the books, I am not working with the large chains yet.
This book is such a local focus, not likely to be picked up by B&N or Amazon.
