Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Passenger Service: 1847-1971
Stock #: KB10849
Author: Thomas W. Dixon Jr.
List Price: $0.00
Karen's Price:
$34.95
This book by noted C&O historian and C&OHS founder T. W. Dixon, Jr., details the whole history of passenger train service on the C&O beginning with the Virginia Central in the 1840s and enduing with Amtrak�s takeover in 1971. Much of the information has never before been published, especially in the earlier period. The history will be most detailed in the period 1920-1971, the era of the heavyweight steel passenger equipment and the lightweight streamlined cars, the heaviest and most powerful steam locomotives, and the iconic E8 diesels. All this is documented and explained in a cogent chronological text supplemented with maps, diagrams, charts, tables, timetable reproductions, ads, menus, as well as photos both from general sources and from the C&O�s own publicity photographers in the 1930-1960s era.

Chicago & North Western, The 400 Club: A History of the Presidential F Units
Stock #: KB11030
Author: Bruce C. Nelson
List Price: $29.95
Karen's Price:
$28.95
This book details the story of five Chicago & North Western Railway F7 diesel units that saw a wide variety of uses over 40 years of service. Purchased as freight units intended primarily to replace steam power, they were ultimately selected for the prestigious assignment of pulling the C&NW's business cars. Supporters soon nicknamed the units "Presidential Fs" in recognition of their lofty status. Another name bestowed on them was "the 400 Club," stemming from their renumbering to the 400 series in honor of the historic C&NW streamliner known as the "400." Author Bruce Nelson takes a chronological look at the history of these units, including mechanical details, operational assignments, stories from C&NW employees, and the units' ultimate disposition following retirement in 1989.
