Next Volume Please December 3, 2000
I would like to encourage the author to write more volumes on the Illinois Central. This book is a great reference for mid 20th century locomotives and rolling stock. If I may be so bold as to suggest, a volume featuring branch line activities and depots would be an excellent follow up to this fine book.
EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHY OF A LEGENDARY RAILROAD June 28, 1998
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
AS AN EMPLOYEE OF THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD FOR THE LAST 27 YEARS THIS WAS BY FAR THE MOST INTERESTING BOOK ON THE RAILROAD I HAVE READ. BOTH PHOTOGRAPHY AND CONTENT PUTS THIS BOOK AT THE FRONT OF THE TRAIN.
Orange and White, GREAT!!!! June 20, 1998
Good section on the history of the Illinois Central Railroad. Steam section was good. Orange and White was the era I grew up watching on the IC. This book is an AWESOME photographic history of a historical Railroad.
 Good over-all view of IC Locos, some pass. and cabooses June 17, 1998
First twenty pages are brief history of I. C. railroad. Next 29 pages are mostly pictures w/ brief discriptions of steam locomotives, followed by "around the map" photos, mostly of locomotives. Latter part of book is passenger trains, surburban Chicago "electrics", work & maintenance of way rolling stock, and cabooses (cabeese?).
Held my attention throughout the book August 19, 1997
Having grown up along the ICRR in the 50's through 70's, it brought back many fond memories, thank youso much.
