Steam to Diesel in New Jersey" hspace="10" src="http://www.historicrail.com/Image.po?pn=0R01354 |
Caldes. Following WWII, many of the nation’s railroads were eager to replace their war-weary steam engines with new diesel power. This book presents a vast array of late steam and early diesel power that served New Jersey’s big and small railroads - such as the Pennsylvania Railroad, New Jersey Central, Lackawanna, and Erie - from the mid 1940s to the late ‘50s. You’ll see locomotives from Alco, Baldwin, Lima, and EMD mix it up in freight and commuter service in a host of urban, harbor and country settings, and enjoy a look at the MUs and electrics that also served the region. 128 pgs, 200 B&W photos, 6?"x 9?", sfbd. #0R01354 |

Daughen & Binzen. "…a great book…" - The New York
