"That Unionville Train"

Written by Carl Detwyler and chronicles the history of the M&NJ from
its creation down through the 21st century. This work has been brewing since
the creation of the M&NJRHS Society. Not only is it a very readable and complete
work, but the many photo's really pull the whole text into place. There are
several supplemental articles, one by a former M&U trackman, one by Peter Brill
about O&W steam on the M&U and a reprint of an article I wrote for the
Unionville Flyer about the M&U's DG freight house that was built on O&W
property. John Deserto
