Autorenporträt
This title was written and researched by T.J. Gaffney, former executive director of the Steam Railroading Institute and owner of Streamline Historic Services, and Dean Pyers, a manufacturing engineer at General Motors and longtime volunteer at the Steam Railroading Institute. Gaffney's other Arcadia titles include Rails around the Thumb and Port Huron: 1880-1960. A portion of the authors' proceeds will go toward keeping the 1225 operational.
