W. Swanberg, David P. Oroszi, and others.

Review:

Model Railroading, August 2005 (circ.: 11,000) This book is not a history of the failure of the merger. Rather, it is more of a photographic and written record of some of the trains that were the Penn Central. It also focuses on the daily operations of those trains, where they went and what they did.”
