Product Description
History and recipes of New Haven Railroad's fabulous Dining Car Department from its earliest years until 1969. The people, trains, cars, china, silverware, menus, advertising, and recipes of this fine service are detailed in this fascinating and well researched work. New Haven was justifiably famous for its fine food on its great fleet of trains. Included are many actual recipes that show the variety of the line's food, served for so many years to so many travelers in the Northeastern U.S.

Buy This Book February 23, 2004 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This inexpensive book is well researched and an interesting read. If you have an interest in railroad dining car operations, especially from a northeast line, this would be an excellent addition to your collection or reference library. Last Thanksgiving we tried out a couple of recipes from the book and they turned out very well. Highly recommended.
What A Great Book! October 31, 2003 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Marc Frattasio has done a wonderful job of telling the story of the New Haven Railroad's dining car department and onboard food service in Dining on the Shore Line Route. This book has something to appeal to every railroad fan; well-researched historical narratives, loads of photos, and a big selection of recipes. I especially appreciated the photographs of the train crews (especially all the hostesses and other women), the first-person stories by railroad workers about their adventures working on the trains, the illustrations (and stories) about all the dining car china patterns used by the railroad, and of course the interesting recipes. This is a great book on an interesting aspect of the New Haven's history that up until now has been undocumented.
