Railroad ferries of the Hudson

"Railroad Ferries of the Hudson and Stories of a Deckhand is a complete business, technical, and social history, lavishly illustrated, of the ferryboats that were once operated across the Hudson River between New Jersey and Manhattan by railroad companies in connection with their commuter and long-distance passenger trains. New chapters cover the Staten Island Ferry and New York Waterway's revival of cross-Hudson service in connection with New Jersey Transit's commuter rail service."--BOOK JACKET.
