Earlier in the 20th century, the Pennsylvania Railroad was the
transportation leader in the United States, moving ten percent of
the rail traffic with only four percent of the U.S. route mileage.
In the northeast, the Pennsy seemed to reach everywhere. Little
wonder today that when these veteran engines operate, they draw
thousands trackside, from older people who knew the railroad to
kids who were born years after Pennsys demise. For a few moments,
they get a glimpse at what once was the Standard Railroad of the
World. With this new book, you can see and read about the modern
trains that still captivate onlookers and the new railroad
companies, including the famous Santa Fe Railway to CSX and ALCO
lines, that have served across North America in the last thirty
years. Over 450 exciting color photos show engines and trains in
use at breathtaking locations across the continent. The engaging,
detailed text explains modern-day railroad mergers and engine
markings, histories, unique characteristics, and the web of routes
in the transportation system that keeps goods moving over iron
trails every day. The author shares his eye-witness sightings
through his photography and deep knowledge of recent American
trains.
