There have been two notable Railroad author's named Poor. Mac Poor's book and its Pictorial Supplement (aka "Kindig") belong in every NG railfan's collection.

To a railroad historian, the more important author was Henry Poor and his Poor's Manual of Railroads. The following link is for the 1868 edition:

It is possible that you've heard reference to the later since both are sometimes referred to as "Poor's".
