Volume IV: Freight Cars, continues the tradition that historians and modelers alike have come to appreciate from author Johnny Graybeal. The book covers boxcars, flatcars, stockcars, gondolas, hoppers, trailer-on-flats, and cabooses. The first three volumes of the series have easily sold out their first printing.
Johnny Graybeal's epic saga of Along the ET&WNC continues with his fourth release- Freight Cars Part A. All freight car data was initially planned to fit into a single volume, but so many new pictures, as well as reams of data, were uncovered that two books were necessary in order to provide justice to the subject.
This volume covers boxcars, flatcars, gondolas, and woodcars in details that you never dreamed of. Existing rolling stock is documented and photographed with such depth that will please both the modeler and historian alike. Special chapters and appendices provide an all-time roster, complete with car specs, cost, construction details, and the various numbering systems used throughout the life of the railroad.
