RE: (erielack) author (2)

I will fully agree with Rich; the "Hoboken/Jersey City" book is well done and thoroughly researched. I recommend it as well.

The "Steam to Diesel in New Jersey," as had been discussed some time ago on this list, is so filled wtih errors I cannot, in good conscience, recommend it. It's a shame when a book claims to be "historical" and it incorrectly depicts history.
