Old Reliable's passenger service was neither deluxe nor state-of-the-art, and its feature trains all originated on someone else's railroad. However, the Louisville & Nashville offered a comfortable, friendly service that connected the major gateways in the East and Midwest with the South.

First of a four-part series on New Haven Power. Gone since 1969, the New Haven rostered a fleet of unique B-A1A electric/diesel-electric passenger locomotives which replaced older Alco units. Alco freight cabs and boosters, experimental lightweight passenger units. FL9 coverage includes post New Haven owners.

Particular attention is given to operations on the former Conrail and Virginian lines and the coal country of West Virginia. Everything from blue former Conrail engines to the NSÕs heritage fleet is featured in scenic and historic locations.

Electro-Motive power played a huge role in moving Santa Fe trains. In this volume, four-axle hood units, from pre-WWII switchers to Warbonnet GP60Ms are covered.

The great harbor surrounding New York City was both a barrier and a thoroughfare for dozens of area railroads. This first volume features the unique character of waterfront railroading on the B&O, BEDT, BT, DL&W, Erie, and EL.

Visit the ICG's Sparta District with it manifest freights, coal trains, and a local all sharing 149 miles of single track main traversing a territory rife with sags and hogbacks - part of which was known as Badlands.  It's the story of "old head" railroading, the comic book plant, a big hill (in both directions), coal mines, and much more - all in Southern Illinois.

This volume highlights GE six-axle locomotives inherited from predecessor roads (e.g., Chesapeake & Ohio, Seaboard Coast Line, Louisville & Nashville).  Pack with unusual equipment, it features four- and six-axle road slugs built by CSX from older power remains, various rebuilds of older power (e.g., GP40-3 and SD40-3), plus road slugs running deep in the wild coal fields of West Virginia.

Santa Fe's Electro-Motive cab units are icons of American Railroading.  In this volume, we explore the company's E, F, and Cowl locomotive types.
