Listen to the Whistle
An Anecdotal History of the Wallkill Valley Railroad in Ulster and Orange Counties, New York
By Carleton Mabee (1995) 166pp, hb., photos, $29.00
When the Wallkill Valley built its railroad, like many other communities across the nation, it entered the railroad age. It would never be the same again.  As the first book ever to be published about the Wallkill Valley Railroad, Listen to the Whistle tells the story of a gallant little railroad that connected Orange and Ulster counties, and aspired to be part of a major trunk line reaching from New York City all the way to Albany.  A human more than technological story, it tells not only of hissing steam engines, but also of trainmen high in their cabs, farmers shipping milk and fruit, children riding to school, and weary workmen hearing train whistles as hints of adventure in distant places.
