RE: (erielack) Lackawanna Facilities Book Vol 1

["Tupaczewski, Paul R \(Paul\)" <paultup_@_alcatel-lucent.com>]

My copy arrived yesterday as well, and I have to concur with Bob on
this. The "aerial" (actually shot from the top of a light tower, yikes!)
views of the Hoboken/Jersey City yards are tremendous and are the big
surprise of the book for me.

As a Boonton junkie :), I thought the Boonton coverage was pretty good,
though again, I wish there were shots of Drew Chemical in there.

But yes, I highly recommend this book as well!
