Delaware and Hudson
Railroad History, 2018-2020:

The on-going process
of writing the history of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad: Presented in this
item are three volumes of Delaware and Hudson Railroad history:

Addendum I (December
31, 2018) to S. Robert Powell\u2019s Twenty-four Volume Series on the Delaware and
Hudson Railroad. 444
pages

Addendum II (December
31, 2019) to S. Robert Powell\u2019s Twenty-four Volume Series on the Delaware and
Hudson Railroad. 412
pages

Addendum III (December
31, 2020) to S. Robert Powell\u2019s Twenty-four Volume Series on the Delaware and
Hudson Railroad. 400 pages.

What is the content of
these three Addenda and why were they brought into existence?

On October 9, 2018,
one hundred and eighty-nine years after the opening of the D&H Gravity
Railroad, the final four volumes (Volumes XXI-XXIV) in S. Robert Powell\u2019s
24-volume series on the D&H were published (all of those 24 volumes are
presented, both individually and as a unit, on Internet Archive). The recording
by the author of data about the D&H did not, to be sure, come to an end on
that day. On the contrary, the process of learning and recording data about the
D&H is for the author, a life-long/on-going process.

To record the data
learned by the author following the publication of Volume XXIV, he decided to
produce an annual \u201cAddendum\u201d of materials that were learned by him about the
D&H, year by year, following the publication of Volume XXIV. Each of these
Addenda contains D&H material that will ultimately be incorporated into the
author\u2019s D&H Volumes I-XXIV when the time comes to embark on that process.
In the meantime, that material is presented in each Addendum, in
final form and ready to be incorporated.
