John M. Ham, Railroad Author, Historian and ERM Life Member will unveil his newest railroad book

Four Tracks Through the Mohawk Valley
Along the Scenic Water Level Route
Between Albany and Buffalo

Over the past two decades, author John Ham has produced several books about the New York Central Railroad in New York State. His most recent publication was the acclaimed book about the Central’s Main Line entitled “From Grand Central to Albany”. This new book is a mate to it, continuing west from Albany and Schenectady along the scenic Mohawk River Valley to Syracuse and on through the fertile farmlands of Central New York to Rochester and finally, Buffalo. Nine prominent railroad historians and authors assisted Mr. Ham with the compilation of this book. It focuses on the New York Central’s “Glory Years” using a multitude of fine steam and early diesel photos taken along the Water Level Route by some of the most noted rail photographers of the 20th Century.

MR. HAM WILL SIGN BOOKS AND ANSWER QUESTIONS AT THE SMALL RECEPTION TO FOLLOW.

Admission is free to this event but we ask that a donation be made to the Museum, which is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization, to help defray our costs.
