Explore the twilight years of one of America’s most storied railroads in Erie Lackawanna in the Northeast: New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, 1961 to 1976. This compelling visual and historical account follows the Erie Lackawanna from its early post-merger struggles through its spirited fight for survival in the face of economic headwinds, competition, and consolidation.
