 WM - 1941 to Chessie to CSXT Diesel ERA October 27, 2001
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Well researched book including numerous B&W (75%) and color (25%) pics of WM diesels throughout the diesel era at WM and afterwards. The back cover is more beautiful than the front cover. I keep a copy as part of my Western Maryland Railway (& Railroad) collection. Includes WM diesel roster with Chessie and CSXT renumbering, ALCOs, Baldwins, EMDs, GEs and homebuilts, route maps and more. ISBN 1-883089-24-7
 A must for all Western Maryland modelers and railfans alike June 28, 1999

This book list every type of diesel locomotive that was owned and used by the Western Maryland railway, with photo's and drawings. Just some the the information supplied in the book is date purchased, quantity purchased, road numbers and disposition. The book also covers the prime movers from the various manufacturers and M.U operations. Chapter 12 is very helpful for tracing ex WM power by unit number, and in my opinion chapters 13 goes above and beyond as far as painting and lettering with actual painting diagrams. Chapter 14 has color examples of the different units used by the Western Maryland Railway. All in all this is a very well done book on the Western Maryland Diesel locomotives and A must for all Western Maryland models, and railfans alike.
Excellent June 20, 1998

It is the best book on the Western Maryland's Diesel locos that I have read. I also had the pleasure meeting both authors down at Cumberland, Md. during Railfest' 97.
