5 out of 5 stars Definitive Book on Penn Central Fleet   December 25, 2007
A mostly black-and-white print book, excellent background material and high-quality photos. Superlative portrait of the greatest failed railroad's fleet of wheezing, failing locomotives and the few new ones that arrived too late to make a difference.

Though no longer in print, it can often be found at less than $100, which is reasonable. Above that price, it's not such a good bargain.



5 out of 5 stars Oh How I wish this book would be re-released   March 10, 2006

This is an awesome book about a long despised but now (surprize, surprize) missed railroad. This book covers in detail through many excellant photos the total roster of Penn Central Locomotives. I feel a better book has not been written about the Penn Central. This book is hard to come by and if you can find it at a reasonable price I would recommend you bye it.

This is an excellent book if you're looking for a comprehensive summary of Penn Central Motive power. Great photos, and good details on the origins of the different locomotives. Photography books on the Penn Central are hard to come by, so if you find this one, get it!


5 out of 5 stars Great book of you are a PC fan   February 27, 1998

Great book if you like this road as much as me. Photos and text are good. Best thing since Reid's PC Bi-annual in 1970
