Hi All

Here is another cool book for our libraries.

From the back cover:

With their graceful lines and powerful silhouettes, bridges enhance the landscape of New York City while providing the valuable service of bringing people together. Filled with captivating historic photographs and lively text, The Bridges of New York City explores the origines of these engineering marvels and takes you on a guided tour of New Yorks past.

Here are the scans:

Does it show any traffic lights used on the bridges IE for drawbridges & such?

Unfortunately No.

I always try to post the best photos not just teasers but I didn't find any. I will take another look though just to be sure :hello:

Another great one, thanks for sharing this Tony. :thumbsup:

I actually saw this book at the book store a while back but then forgot all about it. Now you've committed it to my permanent signal memory (the forums).

Tony, have you ever visited the NYC Transit Museum?

Ed

I haven't visited that one. Quite a haul from Holland I'll bet.

Looks very interesting from the photos I have seen posted though. :good:

Don't get me wrong signals are very cool. :good:

But I have been very selective (no not cheap!) about the hardware I have collected due mostly to space limitations.

I only own 5 signals (2 of which are 4 ways, if a Deco beacon counts as a 4 way) which take up a lot of space.

Books on the otherhand don't take up nearly the room.

Anyway glad you like the reading selections :hello:
