Книга Steam's Camelot Southern and Norfolk Southern Excursions. Автор Jim Wrinn. Описание в оригинале: Southern and Norfolk Southern excursion trains delighted enthusiasts for 28 years. Jim Wrinn writes the story, from the last run of Norfolk and Western (N&W) J No. 611 in regular service in 1959 and chronicles the lack of excursions in the early 1960s. He covers the beginning, and expansion, of steam excursions on the Southern under Graham Claytor, overviews the endless stream of different hired steam locomotives from other railroads, and brings the story into the N&W era with the 611 and 1218. Superb color photographs and in-depth text tell the fascinating story of steam train operations. 128 стр. Издатель: TLC Publishing. ISBN-10: 1883089565. ISBN-13: 978-1883089566.

Книга Norfolk & Western: Steam's Last Stand. Автор Mallory Hope Ferrell. Описание в оригинале: As most major railroads made the transition to diesels during the early 1950s, railfan photographers flocked to places like Blue Ridge and C'burg Grade to capture the smoking action. The 15 years following the end of WWII were the golden years of N&W steam. When the fire of the last steamer was dropped in Williamson, WV shortly after midnight on the morning of May 7, 1960, these glory days ended. Many of us directed our attention and cameras elsewhere. The thrilling sight of a Y6b and an A class blasting upgrade with a hundred loaded hoppers was, sadly, over. Following mergers and renaming, N&W steam enjoyed a brief reprieve in 1982-1994 with the return of two famed locomotives. While it lasted, those who had missed the Grand Show were treated to a sampling of what it was like, courtesy of J-class 4-8-4 Number 611 and articulated Class A 2-6-6-4 Number 1218. Both were among the over 400 steam engines constructed at Roanoke Shops over the 70 year period of 1883-1953. This tome is a personal pictorial of the final decades of smoking steam action on the Norfolk and Western. It is a photographic study of guts, grime and power as everything from small consolidations and Mollies to husky double-headed 2-8-8-2s moved coal trains to Tidewater and the Midwest. This is also the story of a railroad that took pride in its passenger service, be it a Pacific powered three car local on the Clinch Valley run, a single combine behind a branchline mixed, or a streamstyled Tuscan Red J pulling a matched consist on a name train - the N&W had class. It's departure time, as the conductor calls out "Aaaaallll A-Board", so sit back for an exciting ride. This was Steam's Last Stand. 320 стр. ISBN-10: 094543460X. ISBN-13: 978-0945434603.

Книга Grand trunk heritage: Steam in New England (Railroad Heritage Press). Автор Philip R Hastings. Описание в оригинале: The Grand Trunk main line from Portland, Maine, through Island Pond, Vermont, to Montreal, Quebec, was a conveyor for international trade between these two important Eastern ports. Portland was an important connection for Montreal, especially when the St. Lawrence River was frozen for the winter, seasonal traffic of wheat and produce were the line's mainstay for many years. From steam to diesel, legendary photographer Phillip R. Hastings was there to capture it all on film. At the turn of the century in the 1900s, the Grand Trunk was handing over all of its lucrative traffic to the Canadian Pacific at North Bay. Investors were were convinced to back the Grand Trunk Pacific, a line that would run the length of Canada and terminate at Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The last section of railroad was completed between Winnipeg and Prince Rupert in 1914, but the company had already fallen on hard times. By 1919, the Grand Trunk Pacific was a ward of the Canadian Government, with many of the eastern lines absorbed by the Canadian National Railway, with the Grand Trunk Western emerging to operate lines in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. The Grand Trunk name persisted in New England for a few years longer, standing out from Canadian National 's other eastern subsidiary, the Central Vermont. Grand Trunk Heritage documents the waning years of the steam era on this interesting New England main line, from heavy freights and long passenger trains, to busy locals and switching yards. This updated and expanded edition includes a number of photos from the diesel era, into the Series: Railroad Heritage Press 48 стр. ISBN-10: 0931584035. ISBN-13: 978-0931584039. Мягкая обложка.

Книга The Pennsylvania Railroad Under Wire (Golden Years of Railroading). Автор William D. Middleton. Описание в оригинале: Early in the 20th century the PRR tried electric power for its trains. First was the New York terminal area, where tunnels precluded steam locomotives; a direct current (DC) 650-volt third rail powered PRR locomotives (and LIRR passenger cars). The system was put into service in 1910. The next area to be electrified was the Philadelphia terminal area, where PRR officials decided to use overhead lines to supply power to the suburban trains running out of Broad Street Station. Unlike the New York terminal system, overhead wires would carry 11,000-volt 25-Hertz alternating current (AC) power, the system used for all future installations. In 1915, electrification of the line from Philadelphia to Paoli, Pennsylvania was completed. Other Philadelphia lines electrified were the Chestnut Hill Branch (1918), White Marsh (1924), West Chester (1928), the main line to Wilmington, Delaware, and in 1930 the Schuylkill Branch to Norristown, along with the rest of the main line to Trenton. In January 1933, through main-line service between New York and Philadelphia/Wilmington/Paoli was placed in operation. The first test run of an electric train between Philadelphia and Washington occurred on January 28, 1935. On February 1 the Congressional Limiteds in both directions were the first trains in regular electric operation between New York and Washington, drawn by the first of the GG1-type locomotives. All regular passenger trains between these cities were electrified by March 15. Мягкая обложка. На английском языке.
