It is the story of the Iron Range and Huron Bay Railroad that spent over $1,200,000 during the period of 1889 to 1995, to build a 36 mile railroad that never ran a train. It includes several detailed maps of the "grade" as it exists today from Champion, Michigan, all the way to Huron Bay on Lake Superior, near Skanee, and east of L'Anse. The author, from Negaunee, has walked most of the grade apart from the present road, and shares his experiences. The railroad was sold, and almost totally dismantled in 1901. The railroad had purchased two 120 ton Steam Locomotives, 2-4-0's, built a long 60' rock cut through the 1900' Huron Bay Summit, plus many other cuts as well, and built a large 112 pocket ore boat loading dock, and laid the track..

Download The Hampden Railroad -- The Greatest Railroad that Never Ran Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In the early 1980's, author Philip Johnson discovered a railroad bridge on the Central Mass branch in Bondsville. This began his investigation as to why the bridge was there, and what ran underneath. This discovery led him to a railroad lost in the woods with little written history. A stone post stands as a silent sentinel telling all that it is 82 miles to Boston from that point on the Hampden. This is the Hampden Railroad's story.

This account of a doomed enterprise is “an important contribution to both rail and road history, as well as to business history”—photos and maps included (The Lexington Quarterly). Stretching over two hundred miles through Pennsylvania’s most challenging mountain terrain, the South Pennsylvania Railroad would form the heart of a new trunk line, from the East Coast to Pittsburgh and the Midwest. Conceived in 1881 by William H. Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, and a group of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia industrialists, it was intended to break the rival Pennsylvania Railroad’s near-monopoly in the region. But the line was within a year of opening when J.P. Morgan brokered a peace treaty that aborted the project and helped bolster his position in the world of finance. The railroad right of way and its tunnels would sit idle for sixty years—before coming to life in the late 1930s as the original section of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Based on original letters, documents, diaries, and newspaper reports, The Railroad That Never Was uncovers the truth behind this mysterious railway, one of the most infamous construction projects of the late nineteenth century.

The Hampden Railroad was completed in 1913. It was built to connect the railroads at Springfield to Palmer and northward to the vacation lands in New Hampshire and Maine. But it was not approved for use by the Massachusetts Railroad Commission. This book supplements my first book with maps and photos not available when that book was published.

"The Underground Railroad: Next Stop, Toronto! stands out as an engaging and highly readable account of the lives of Black people in Toronto in the 1800s. Adrienne Shadd, Afua Cooper and Karolyn Smardz Frost offer many helpful points of entry for readers learning for the first time about Black history in Canada. They also give surprising and detailed information to enrich the understanding of people already passionate about this neglected aspect of our own past." - Lawrence Hill, Writer The Underground Railroad: Next Stop, Toronto!, a richly illustrated book, examines the urban connection of the clandestine system of secret routes, safe houses and "conductors." Not only does it trace the story of the Underground Railroad itself and how people courageously made the trip north to Canada and freedom, but it also explores what happened to them after they arrived. And it does so using never-before-published information on the African-Canadian community of Toronto. Based entirely on new research carried out for the experiential theatre show "The Underground Railroad: Next Stop, Freedom!" at the Royal Ontario Museum, this volume offers new insights into the rich heritage of the Black people who made Toronto their home before the Civil War. It portrays life in the city during the nineteenth century in considerable detail. This exciting new book will be of interest to readers young and old who want to learn more about this unexplored chapter in Toronto’s history.
