The year 1961 saw an about face with the new coaches sold off to Saudi Arabia and the RDCs to CNJ. The highlight of the 1960s passenger service became the BUTLER DAY EXPRESS while freight service gained three new EMD GP18s.

Mallory Hope Ferrell has always been intrigued by the remote, often run-down and obscure railroads. A Southerner by birth, this tome covers many of these lines during the period just before World War II until the arrival of a diesel salesman or abandonment put an end to that glorious era of steam and smoke.

The Bible Belt is generally accepted as covering a sweeping, wide arc of the southeastern United States, extending from West (By Damn) Virginia to East (By God) Texas. It was in this territory that small steam powered lines lasted so long and so well.

Many of these lines served a single industry, mine, quarry, cotton mill, town or sawmill. When this local industry failed, or the lumber and coal played out, these carriers simply up and quit! The few survivors opted for small diesel power, others were absorbed as a branch of a larger railroad, but most were abandoned in favor of highway transportation - or no transportation at all.

The Soo Line was built to break the monopolies of the Hill Roads, the Northern Pacific Railroad and Great Northern Railway in northern Minnesota. The Soo Line as a late arrival on the Minnesota railroad scene had to be lean, mean and innovative in its quest to secure a place amid its more powerful and well-established rivals.

It was the classic story of David facing off against Goliath With 320 pages, 300 photographs and over 50 maps and diagrams, The Soo Line in Minnesota illustrates the rich history of this classic northern Minnesota railroad.

From the main lines to Chicago, Winnipeg, Sault Ste. Marie and the Dakotas, to the secondary lines that accessed the Twin Ports and Cuyuna Iron Ore Range, the book offers an in-depth written and visual history of the Soo Line in Minnesota from its beginning to its takeover by the Canadian Pacific.

This book looks at the PRR steam locomotive classes operating during the 1940s and 1950s. Our color photograph trip starts in the Windy City of Chicago and moves over the fast Fort Wayne Line. At Pittsburgh, we stop to visit two steam short lines related to the PRR, the Western Allegheny and the Ligonier Valley, and then move on to the mountain city of Altoona.

From Altoona to Harrisburg, the multi-track mainline had a plentiful supply of steam and diesel-powered trains. Side trips to Sandusky, Sodus Point and Shamokin give us the opportunity to view large Pennsy steam power hauling coal and ore trains. The photographic trip finally ends in Camden, New Jersey, where steam remained in force until 1957 mixed with Baldwin diesels and several oil-electric cars.

In this book we will take a look at the New Haven's Electric Locomotive and multiple unit cars. New Haven was the pioneer of main line AC electrification in the United States. Due to the New York State Act of 1903, steam locomotives would be banned in Grand Central Terminal and the Park Avenue Tunnel by July 1, 1908.

New Haven's experience with DC was that it was only good for light traction. So, in order to operate over its own lines and into Grand Central, the New Haven would have to operate on both a 650 volt DC third rail and 11,000 volt AC overhead wire, a formidable challenge for 1905-1907. This four track mainline electrification would be expanded to New Haven, Conn. by 1914, Cedar Hill Yard by 1915 and over the Hell Gate Bridge route by 1917.

The route covered includes from New York on to New Haven and Springfield, Connecticut with photographs of the electrics and diesels and includes an electric locomotive roster. Four Ways West Publications, hardcover, 128 pages, 8.5 x 11 x .5 in., Color photographs; roster.
