The railroad in these days moved forward under the driving impetus of one of its most colorful presidents, Oliver Charlick, and that momentum increased even more under the dynamic leadership of Conrad Poppenhusen and his imaginative successor, Colonel Thomas R. Sharp.There are no original sources for the history of the Long Island Rail Road in the files of the railroad itself aside from scattered blueprints and charters; it has been necessary, therefore, to turn to the press of the day for information. Most of the Island newspapers for the 1860\'s and 70\'s that have survived have been systematically searched, and provide the material of this book, and it is the author\'s hope that some of the freshness and sense of immediacy that still breathes forth from the accounts of events a century ago has been transmitted to his own pages.The Long Island Rail Road has been more fortunate than its rivals in the preservation of pictures dating back to the post-Civil War era. I am indebted to the Brooklyn Public Library for the fine series of station pictures taken by Brainerd, who, in his capacity as engineer for the Brooklyn Water Works, had occasion to patronize the road and indulge his hobby of photography until his death in 1887. Nearly all the remaining pictures have been supplied to me through the very kind offices of Harold Fager-berg of Babylon, L.I. Harold L. Goldsmith has very kindly made available to me the information contained in the Order Books of the various steam locomotive builders, which he has laboriously gathered over many years, and without the help of which many problems in the engine roster might well have remained unresolved. Mr. Jeffrey Winslow has once again placed at my disposal his skill with layout and captions in the picture section of this book. Finally, I wish to express my profound gratitude to Felix Reifschneider of Fairton, N.J. who for fifteen years has served as counselor, critic and friend, and who has uncomplainingly undertaken the thankless tasks of proof reading, financing and distributing not only this book, but a long line of earlier publications.Volume IV, THE LONG ISLAND RAIL ROAD TO THE BEACHES, is presently in preparation.VINCENT F. SEYFRIED
