Life-long railfan-photographer Matt Herson's latest book - on the Long Island Rail Road - takes a colorful and in-depth look at three decades of operation by "The Route of the Dashing Commuter." With captions written by long-time LIRR railfan-historian Mike Boland, this fascinating collection of photos captures the nation's busiest passenger railroad in all its glory, from its varied roster of passenger cars, MUs, motive power, cabooses, freight equipment and much more...even tugboats, RPO cars and its MOW fleet of cars.
