New Haven Power In Color Volume 2: 
Roadswitchers & Second-Generation Power

Coverage begins with the Alco roadswitchers, of which New Haven owned the RS1, RS2, RS3 and RS11 models, then introduces the Fairbanks-Morse H16-44, both the passenger and freight series units. Also featured are the only EMD roadswitchers on the pike: 30 dual-purpose GP9s. Rounding out the motive power is a detailed look at the second-generation purchases of Alco C-425s and GE U25Bs. 

New York Central Electric Zone In Color

A 1903 law prohibiting the use of steam locomotives in Manhattan became the catalyst that started the predecessor companies of the New York Central and New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroads on the path to electrification. Starting with that era, the book tells the story of the massive electrification projects of both railroads with special emphasis on the new Grand Central Terminal that opened in 1913 and continues to serve the public today. In addition to the NYC's electrification, the book explains the role of the New Haven RR and its electrification system. It brings the story up to date including the present day operation by the Metro-North RR and extension of the Harlem Line electrification from North White Plains to Southeast, north of Brewster.
