Description (the following is taken from Wikipedia):
Shenandoah Valley Railroad was a line completed on June 19, 1882, extending down the Shenandoah Valley from Hagerstown, Maryland through the West Virginia panhandle into Virginia to reach Roanoke, Virginia and to connect with the Norfolk and Western Railway (N&W). The development of this railroad had considerable backing from the Pennsylvania Railroad. In September 1890 it went into bankruptcy and was reorganized as the Shenandoah Valley Railway. In December 1890, it became part of N&W. Today the tracks are a major artery of the Norfolk Southern system.
South of Harrisonburg, Virginia, a former part of the Norfolk Southern System a few miles west was a parallel line originally called the Valley Railroad. It was built in the late 19th century by Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, a fierce competitor of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The line was purchased in 1942 by the Chesapeake Western Railway. A portion extending northward from Staunton, Virginia in Augusta County and Rockingham County became a new short-line railroad formed late in the 20th century by several major shippers. The historic name of the once rival was adopted for the current privately owned intrastate Shenandoah Valley Railroad.
Condition: The book is in good condition for its age.
The book has been exposed to handling (see discolorations in photos) and some light; it
appears to have been in storage for quite a while (at least some of that time it was stored in a zip-lock bag).
I noticed the following defects:
discoloration spots on both front and rear covers; two very tiny chips at lower left edge and upper right edge of front cover. Defects mostly attributed to storage climate conditions and associated handling. Please see photos.
Please contact me for more information or additional photos.
