This first volume of a comprehensive book series on railroad tugboats, written by active railroader and tug crewmember Paul Strubeck, covers the boats and the considerable railroad maritime operations of New York Harbor, the Delaware River (Philadelphia and Wilmington), Norfolk (Hampton Roads, Sewell’s Point, and Little Creek area), and Baltimore Harbor. Over 75 diesel-powered tugs operated for railroad owners in these regions, and many went on to live multiple lives beyond their railroad careers.
In-depth coverage includes every diesel tugboat owned and operated by the following railroads:

Baltimore & Ohio Railway
Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal
Bush Terminal Railroad
Central Railroad of New Jersey
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway
Dalzell Towing (leased to New Haven)
Eastern Shore Railroad
Erie Railroad
Erie Lackawanna Railroad
Jersey City Stockyard Company (PRR subsidiary)
Lackawanna Railroad
Lehigh Valley Railroad
Long Island Rail Road
New Haven Railroad
New York Central System
New York Cross Harbor Railroad
New York Dock Railway
Penn Central Transportation Co.
Pennsylvania Railroad
Reading Company
Southern Railway
Virginian Railway
Virginia & Maryland Railroad

This book documents the entire period of operations of these tugs under railroad ownership, their subsequent owners, and their final dispositions. This extensive history is illustrated with over 400 photos, blueprints, drawings, and technical data. A dedicated section covers the major railroad tugboat designs on the east coast, interior layouts and components, construction methods, and different engine and propulsion types.
Railroad tugboat operations were unique, and the designs of these boats were specific to the needs of the railroads they served. This book appeals not only to railroad enthusiasts, but to maritime historians interested in this unexplored chapter of tugboat design and operation.
