About This Item

Bill McBride, 2008. Softcover. New. Softcover, 144 pages, 8.5 x 11 x .25 in., all color photographs. Railroads of the Hudson River Valley is Bill Mc Bride’s first book but railfans will recognize his name from photo credits and articles he has had published in Trains, Railfan & Railroad, TRP, Railpace, The Short Line and Railroads Illustrated. His photographs have also graced the pages of other authors books when they required high quality photographs. In Railroads of the Hudson River Valley the author takes you on a scenic tour of one of the most beautiful and famous river valleys in the country. Railroads line both banks of the river and during the past twenty-nine years Bill Mc Bride has climbed mountains, hills, rocks and trees to get spectacular scenic photographs of various railroad trains, both freight and passenger, that called the valley home. The intrepid photographer has also waded into the river and walked out onto frozen ice shelves to further his documentation of the railroads. In addition to the 244 color photographs, you will find an account of a 1927 train wreck at Iona Island that claimed four lives, stories about the history and origin of Iona Island, Bear Mountain State Park, Bannermans Island and Dicks Castle. Also covered is the history of a very ambitious railroad that was started but never built. The author tells his story of the Railroads of the Hudson River Valley in a first-person narrative that shares his adventures and misadventures in making so many unique photographs. The reader will get the sense that they are sitting with the author as he goes through his photographic collection. Many of the photographs presented in the book cannot be taken today for various reasons ranging from trees that have grown, buildings that have been constructed and 911 restrictions. Tom Nemeth, the editor and publisher of Railpace Magazine, did the layout and editing for the book. The book was printed by GRIT Printing of Montoursville, Pa. who are responsible for the outstanding quality of photographs in Railpace. 2009 celebrates the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s first voyage on the river that would eventually be named for him and Railroads of the Hudson River Valley fits deliciously into that celebration!

Terms of Sale

Arizona Hobbies LLC

I reduce shipping for books that weigh less than 1 lb. with packaging. International shipping rates are quoted for a 1 lb. book. International orders that weigh more than 1 lb. will require additional shipping fees.

All books are shipped sealed in plastic to help prevent damage. Sturdy boxes are used often with bubble-wrap and additional padding. Thin titles may ship in a sturdy mailer with cardboard reinforcing. You will not receive 'rounded' books from Arizona Hobbies as you will from Amazon.com with their shoddy packaging.

A a bar code label with USPS a Tracking/Delivery Confirmation number is applied to your shipment. You will be advised of via email of the tracking when your order ships. USPS Media Mail (books, DVDs, CDs, maps) transit time is almost as good as UPS Ground today. Using a bar code label helps move the mail more quickly.

I've only had only six lost and three damaged shipments out of 20,000+ since 1999. This includes International shipments. I use a freight forwarder for International shipments. Canadian shipments bypass the USPS and go directly to Windsor, Ontario via my freight forwarder. It may take up to 2 weeks before Canada Post tracking information is available as we must consolidate orders to forward.

Defective DVDs will be replaced by the same title if available. Since most of my books are in NEW CONDITION and still in the printers plastic shrink-wrap, opened and thumbed through titles become used and a 20 percent re-stocking/used charge will apply plus the shipping costs incurred.
