LIKE NEW, No dust jacket as issued. No marks and tight binding. 142 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 29 cm. . . . . . . . This 142-page hardcover focuses on the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad's (ACL) passenger operations during the postwar era, roughly from the late 1940s through the decline of private rail passenger service. It combines a readable narrative with extensive visual documentation, drawing heavily from company publicity photos that showcase trains both inside and out, capturing the elegance and operations of the period. The book covers not only the glamorous New York-to-Florida streamliners but also the more mundane local and workaday passenger trains that served the ACL's extensive Southern network. It includes valuable reference material for enthusiasts and modelers, such as car and locomotive rosters, diagrams, drawings, and painting details. Overall, it provides a nostalgic yet informative look at one of the South's prominent railroads during a transformative time in American rail travel.

About this title

Synopsis

The dynamic story of ACL's wonderful postwar passenger trains. Told and supported by scores of nostalgic company publicity photos of the trains and equipment, inside and out, with car and locomotive rosters, diagrams and drawings, and material useful to modelers in construction and painting of ACL prototype passenger cars. Highlighted are not only the great New York to Florida streamliners but also the locals and work-a-day passenger trains that crisscrossed the ACL's system.
