Veteran rail author Bill Volkmer was an employee at GE's Erie Works where many roads' Uboats were constructed.  His behind the scene anecdotes coupled with rare in-plant and on the road photographs make this a delightful addition to a rail enthusiast's library.

Volume 2 in this series of books on CSX locomotives features General Electric four-axle units originally built for the ACL, SAL, SCL, L&N, Monon, Seaboard System and C&O.  Photo images, roster and action, often start with the units in their as-built owner paint schemes and progress on through several successor company colors to culminate in a variety of CSX blue-gray and yellow-nose paint varitations.

During its last quarter-century, Southern Pacific used many models of locomotives, and older and newer power often worked side-by-side.  Volume 2 illustrates most of the four-axle roadswitchers, some of the six-axles units, and the last few Fs in use during this fascinating period.

This volume covers the E's and F's, GP's and RS units, Baldwins and FM's.
