This book fills an information void with its wonderful photographs taken between 1970 and 1972. The photos, with their detailed captions, portray the 5,000-plus miles of PC's Southern Region.

The Penn Central came into being with the merger of the New York Central and Pennsylvania lines in 1968, and ended with the formation of Conrail in 1976. Illustrated with over 200 photos taken between 1970 and 1972, plus detailed captions documenting the 5,000 miles of PC's Southern Region, A Sampling of Penn Central dissects operations at the Columbus, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis terminals. Perhaps most important of all, this new edition gives Taylor the opportunity to reflect on those hectic days to help you understand Penn Central's successes and failures.
