*How did Hopewell become Hopewell Junction ?*

Hopewell Depot Restoration Inc has produced a new book about the
railroads of Hopewell Junction and the East Fishkill area.  The book is 
packaged in a 3-ring binder so you can add your
own notes.  It contains 173 pages with a brief history of the railroads
and 188 pictures of old trains and other scenes around Hopewell 
Junction.  If you would like to see what Hopewell
Junction looked like when steam trains were king, this is the book for
you.   You can almost hear the whistle and smell the coal smoke.

These books are a fund raiser for the restoration of the Hopewell
Junction depot.  Work is under way to restore the depot into a small 
museum and educational facility to preserve a part of the
history of Hopewell Junction.  It is the last remaining railroad
building in the area and is located at the Hopewell Junction end of the 
Dutchess County Rail Trail.  All profits from this book will
be used for the restoration of the depot.

*Books are $25 plus $8 shipping.*
