All Aboard!
Come to the Oxford Memorial Library and meet author and railroad historian, John Taibi, March 25th, 10 AM.
There will be a program and book signing by John Taibi, author of Remembering the New York, Ontario & Western Railway: Oswego to Sidney and Branches.
Mr. Taibi's book is an historical and anecdotal account of the entire Northern Division of the railroad. It also examines the Utica Division, Pecksport and Sylvan Beach Loops, and branches to Auburn, Rome, and Edmeston. Therefore, it is a complete history of the lines north of Sidney from their inception by the Midland through the O&W railroad’s demise in 1957. Complementing all of the historical and photographic information is a wonderfully attractive watercolor scene that was especially commissioned for use on the cover.
Mr. Taibi will be at the library to sign books until noon. Program at 10:00. This is Mr. Taibi's 8th book and comes highly recommended by Oxford Historical Society president, Fred Lanfear.
