Not sure if every barnes and noble has them, but the newest one in hackensack has a nice selection of books that share teh history of that particular town. They have a few on trains too. My g/f got me Imgages of America, Ridgefield Park which has a section its own railroad. I never knew it was called the "ridgefield park railroad". Has pics of the old station and what it used to look like. It has a map from 1870 of the NYSW system. Its so fascinating reading about it. I also go Images of rail (some book company) Steam to Diesel in New Jersey. Another great book, showing all the different rail companies throughout NJ. There are more i plan on getting like, Hoboken, Jersey city and I think there is 1 just for trains period.
If you like history like i do, get these books. If they could creat a time machine i'de go back in time just to experience the industrial age and when rail was king.
