Summary: A tribute to the big-city railroad stations of the NYC
Comment: Doughty focuses on the Central's major urban stations: Those given the most pages are Chicago (LaSalle St.), Toledo, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Grand Central, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Boston, and Detroit. Most of the page space is filled with black and white photos from earlier eras, although 12 pages have color photos, and there are also some floor plans and track diagrams. The text portion is limited but discusses why each station was built, its unique features, and current status. Most intriguing to me are the Buffalo and Detroit stations, which have high-rise office buildings attached and are currently abandoned hulks - buildings which are uneconomic to renovate yet too expensive to tear down.
