Springirth is the author of eight other railroad histories, including most recently Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad and Arcade and Attica Railroad. . About the Author Kenneth CErie’s rail link to Philadelphia was achieved in 1864 with the completion of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, which later became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Bland, yet overly techie. U of Minne
