The title is the definitive story of the historic and surviving contemporary lines of the Rome, Watertown &, Ogdensburg Railroad line and, after its 1891 acquisition by the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, its growth and development. "Hojack" means the R.W. & O railroad past, and even present lines, comprising just over 700 miles of trackage, which spanned the length and breadth of upstate New York, extending from the Adirondacks to the Niagara Escarpment, and from the Mohawk River Valley to the St. Lawrence River and on into Canada via Massena. The railroad line produced shipments of everything from apples to forest products to paper and Hematite ore and spanned steam to diesel to newer forms of locomotion. Shortlines, such as the Lowville and the Beaver River, the Massena Terminal, and the Norwood and St. Lawrence lines - just to name a few - are also thoroughly presented historically and contemporarily here.
