THE RAILROADTHAT NEVER WASVanderbilt, Morgan, and the South

Pennsylvania Railroad Herbert H. Harwood, Jr.Herbert H. Harwood, Jr., tells the story o one o the most inamous railroad construction projectso the late 19th century. This 200-mile line throughPennsylvania’s most challenging mountain terrainwas intended to orm the heart o a new trunk linerom the East Coast to Pittsburgh and the Midwest.Conceived in 1881 by William H. Vanderbilt, AndrewCarnegie, and a group o Pittsburgh and Philadelphia

industrialists, the South Pennsylvania Railroadwas intended to break the Pennsylvania Railroad’snear-monopoly in the region. The line was within ayear o opening when J. P. Morgan brokered a peacetreaty that aborted the project and helped bolsterhis position in the world o nance. The railroadright o way and its tunnels sat idle or 60 yearsbeore coming to lie in the late 1930s as the originalsection o the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Based onoriginal letters, documents, diaries, and newspaperreports, The Railroad That Never Was uncovers the

truth behind this mysterious railway.“An important story that deserves its rightul placein every railroad historian’s library.” —Kurt Bell,archivist, Pennsylvania State Railroad Museum

Sprague“The authors weave this biography through time, withtechnological and political details that make Spraguehuman, a creative soul pressing his ideas with a sports-like outcome—some wins, some losses, and some ties.. . . I recommend this well-written book detailing thelie o the ‘Father o Electric Traction’ to explain thedevelopment o what we so casually take or granted.”

— Trains , April 2010

Frank Julian Sprague invented a system or distributingelectricity to streetcars rom overhead wires. Within ayear, electric streetcars had begun to replace horsecars,sparking a revolution in urban transportation. Sprague(1857–1934) was an American naval ocer turnedinventor who worked briefy or Thomas Edison beorestriking out on his own. Sprague contributed to thedevelopment o the electric motor, electric railways, andelectric elevators. His innovations would help transormthe urban space o the 20th century, enabling cities

to grow larger and skyscrapers taller. The Middletons’generously illustrated biography is an engrossing studyo the lie and times o a maverick innovator.
