Metropolitan New York's Third Avenue Railway System features never-before-published photographs documenting the final years of this streetcar system, from 1940 to 1957. Chartered as the Third Avenue Railroad Company in 1853, the system provided streetcar service on Third Avenue from Ann Street to 61st Street. The line eventually extended north to Harlem and across 125th Street and, in its heyday, north of Manhattan into the Bronx and northern Westchester County. Individual lines, such as the Yonkers Railroad, the Westchester Electric Railroad, the Queensborough Bridge Railway Company, and the Union Railway, are featured in this book. Metropolitan New York's Third Avenue Railway System recalls the bygone street scenes of Manhattan, as well as some of the carbarns and work cars and the car-scrapping yard employed by the system.

Many people have a public face and one they keep private. This is the case for seventeen-year-old Pearl. However, hers is quite complicated. While maintaining a public face as an advocate for women's right to vote, she must do so privately to avoid the wrath of her father, Judge McNeece. He is a man with stern indictments for any woman involved in the suffrage movement. Now, imagine Pearl's difficulty when another character notices the fact that she is more than who she says she is. Will this character ever learn who she truly is? How will Judge McNeece react when his own daughter stands before him in court? What will she tell him? Railroad Avenues is a history's tale of the discrimination, stigma, and determination that women faced during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as they fought for suffrage rights in America. This is no ordinary novel, as it is spoken directly through the characters' dialogue and constructed with word-ending rhymes.
