This is the first of two volumes on the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.The city of Pittsburgh had the potential to be a major industrial center but for the freight discrimination imposed by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Every new rail outlet built to offer an alternative to the Pennsy was eventually taken over by that company.

The only route left was a narrow corridor along the Monongahela River threading through steel mills. lead works, glass factories, and other industries.Pittsburgh yearned for independent rail service but was unable to secure it until William McCreery, John Dravo, James Bennett, Jacob Henrici and the Harmony Society, and others banded together to found and construct the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie.

Building on four miles of trestle work through South Side - at times into the Monongahela River - to get to McKees Rocks, the P&LE eventually reached Youngstown, Ohio where connections were made with the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern (New York Central) and the Atlantic & Great Western (Erie Railroad), 68 miles from the Steel City.Growing to over 200 miles of mainline, the P&LE hauled so much tonnage in iron ore, steel, bituminous coal, coke. oil, and limestone that it became the largest revenue per ton mile railroad that ever operated in America.

This 322-page book opens with the story of the pivotal meeting that formed the P&LE when the founders and industrialists went to war with each other. The result was a railroad independent of the Pennsy and answerable only to the needs of Pittsburgh. It is no wonder that the line acquired the nickname "The Little Giant."373 B&W photographs, maps, engravings, and other ephemera form the nexus of this story.

Years of research into the history of the P&LE and the local industries and environs served to elicit a wonderful story about the line and its association with the region.Complete with images of P&LE motive power, rolling stock, facilities, the South Side complex, steel mills and other industries, the "company" villages that housed the mill workers and their families, and steamboats on the Monongahela and Ohio rivers bring the story to life.This title is printed at 175-line screen on 80 lb.

Sterling Premium gloss paper as a flat-backed, Smyth-sewn, oblong, laminated hardcover with an additional protective gloss film lamination.Very limited print run, hardcover, 322 pages, standard landscape format, this is a historical work rather than a pictorial but illustrated with many photographs, maps and illustrations.

The San Luis Valley is an interesting little short line located in southern Colorado and overlooked by rail enthusiasts on their way to the narrow gauge railroads. The chapters include a discussion of the geography, history of ownership and the challenges of the future.The Greeley Branch of the Union Pacific chapters include data such as mileages, some color pictures of Union Pacific steam, and some B&W images of depots.The Arkansas Valley Railway was a branch of the Kansas Pacific Railroad and connected Kit Carson, Colorado with Las Animas, Colorado.

This is a very lonely area on the high plains of eastern Colorado.In this title are detailed three unusual "Colorado Railroads Without Mountains."The 15-mile San Luis Central has faithfully served a rich agricultural district in the San Luis Valley for over a century, owning only three locomotives during its lifetime.

Having outlived many more famous lines, its full history is presented here for the first time by John Gruber and John Ryan.Union Pacific's Greeley branch tapped a rich sugar beet growing area, and its fortunes rose and fell along with the once important Colorado sugar industry.

The Santa Fe's and Rio Grande's main lines basically paralleled each other between Denver and Pueblo, the USRA forced the two to operate as a single double-track railroad. When the USRA handed the railroads back to private ownership, the ATSF and D&RGW decided to continue to operate the two lines as if they were a single double-track railroad shared with the C&S. From that time until the BNSF merger in 1995 the three involved railroads both cooperated and competed with one another.

Author Robert Walz explores the fascinating history of this cooperation among all three railroads from their beginnings in the Denver and Pueblo markets up to the BNSF merger.

The book is richly illustrated with track charts and over 250 period views (over 80 in color) including the work of Otto Petty as well as contemporary photographers.

Authored by noted hobby historian Keith Wills, who wrote the "Collector's Consist" column in Railroad Model Craftsman for a remarkable 32 years, American O Scale 1927-1965 tells the story of O scale from its tinplate roots through its divergence into scale trains. O scale standard and narrow-gauge modeling continue to be the scale of choice for thousands of US and Canadian modelers, and American O Scale 1927-1965 traces the history of both familiar and long-forgotten O scale model lines.

This comprehensive volume follows all the O scale manufacturers, their locomotives and rolling stock from the beginning of scale quarter-inch trains in the late 1920s through the decline of the 1960s. Included is a chapter on the Wm. K Walthers O Scale catalogs, a vital resource for the O scale modeler from the beginnings of the Great Depression through the present.

With the resurgence of O scale and its continued popularity, no current O scale modeler, anyone who got their start in the hobby via Lionel or Marx, or any modeler with an interest in hobby history will want to miss this inclusive new book. Profusely illustrated with vintage catalog pages, magazine ads and model photographs, the book includes the following chapters:

Contents:

• Chapter 1: 1927-1941
• The Heady Pioneer Years
• Chapter 2: The Beginning of Dynamic Growth

Charming stories about narrow gauge, with an emphasis on Maine 2-foot railroads by a writer who actually rode on some of them. The book is a great tribute to Dick Andrews and to the inspiration and counsel that he provided to us younger guys for close to 50 years - and a great read. A comprehensive index makes topics easy to find.

The hardcover printing is now available again! After testing EMD's GP35-DD35-DD35-GP35 demonstrator set, Union Pacific was so pleased with the design that it almost immediately ordered an additional 25 DD35s and 22 matching GP35s, which were delivered between May and August 1964.

These joined the four-unit demonstrator set previously acquired by the carrier. As with UP's earlier experiences with cab-less booster units, the lack of flexibility of these massive, mainline-only units soon became apparent, and a planned follow-on order for 15 units was changed from booster units to 15 units with fully equipped cabs the DDA35 was born.

The Centennials were the final example of Union Pacific's search for the ideal locomotive. While the road pursued a study of its motive power needs in late 1967 and early 1968, UP in March 1968 tried, as a stopgap measure, using EMD?s SD45 model as a high-horsepower, high-speed locomotive, but with limited success.

UP returned to the concept of double-engine locomotives and in collaboration between the railroad and EMD, the DDA40X came to life. Within 13 months of an initial March 1968 communication, the railroad and the builder had worked out a definitive design, and the first unit was delivered.

The timing of the first unit coincided with the 100th anniversary of the May 10, 1869, ceremony marking the driving of the Golden Spike at Promontory Summit, Utah and the DDA40X quickly became known as the Centennial.

It was numbered 6900, and 46 more examples arrived over the next 28 months.

Continuing the series started by John D. Hahn, Jr., and Withers Publishing in 1995, here is the eleventh softcover book in a series on the diesel fleet of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Each book pictorially covers particular groups of PRR locomotives, including complete roster data and specifications of each model featured.

This book features ALCO and General Electric road-switcher units: the Century 424, Century 425, Century 628, and Century 630 built in Schenectady, New York; and the U25B, U25C, U28C, and U30C built at Erie, Pennsylvania.

Also covered are the two models ordered by the PRR, but delivered after the Penn Central merger, ALCO's Century 636 and General Electric's U33C, in Penn Central colors. Units are pictured as-built from the factory, working during the glory days of PRR, and finally, for the U25Bs, wearing Penn Central-compatible numbers.
