Reader Reviews
By Joseph R. Snopek + Robert LaMay This is a truely wonderful book greatly covering all aspects of the FL9 story. It gives a history of the RR for which they were concieved and Built the once mighty, New York, New Haven, & Hartford popularly known as the "New Haven." It covers the trials, tribulations and false starts that lead to the enduring FL-9 Diesel Electric-Electric Locomotive. It gives us a look at how they were operated and used in a very clear context to the RR and later RR's and Successors that operated them (Penn Central, Penn Central/MTA, Conrail/MTA, Amtrak, Metro North Commuter Railroad/Metro North Railroad, Long Island RR, Connecticut DOT). The book delves into the changes in the Northeast RR climate in the last 50 years and how they affected the locomotives. Another thing is how richly illustrated the book is with many many Color and Black and White Photos. Another thing going for this book is its thorough coverage including proposed paint schemes, the FL-9 as seen in advertising, and a small photo montage entitled "Not FL-9's!" of other EMD (non FL-9)F-Units in NH or Metro North Paint (operated by CDOT and MN) especially in FL-9 Stomping grounds!!!! A really awesome book!!!!! Well recommended to any Northeast Railfan, Locomotive afficianato, New Haven or Penn Central Fan!!!! Mr. LaMay and the (late) Mr. Snopek are to be commended for this great work dedicated to great chapter in RR history!
