Red P: Penn Central's Brief Flirtation with Color

Hardcover with dust jacket, 128 pages, 8.5 x 11 in., Color photographs with captions.

Early in its merger, Penn Central decided it needed more color for its locomotives and cars. No wholesale rebranding took place, only a small alteration to its existing paint scheme: a red letter "P" and later an orange "C". This minor change took place on less than 200 locomotives but was eagerly followed by Penn Central fans!
