Chesapeake & Ohio

Typically, coaling stations were huge towers of steel, concrete, or timber that held 50 to 1,000 tons of coal. This coal would eventually be dumped into steam locomotive tenders to be delivered across the country. The author uses reproduced material and articles that originally appeared in Railway Age and other trade magazines of the era, and advertisements from the three major builders of coaling stations: Fairbanks-Morse, Ogle Engineering and Roberts & Schaefer. Photographs show various types of coaling stations and fueling facilities, stand pipes and tanks, and cinder conveyors. It's a great book for rail fans, historians, and modelers.

<p><div>Complete rosters, and data on C&O's dieselization and experience with first and second generation diesel locomotives, through the C&O/B&O era up to Chessie System. C&O, the ultimate steam railway, opted for diesels saying they were a stopgap measure until a Coal-Fired Turbine could be developed, but seeing the economics, quickly dieselized and forgot steam. This is the most complete story yet on this fascinating subject, illustrated with great color photography, as well as some B&W for subjects where no color is available. Includes painting and letter data.&nbsp;&nbsp; This book is ideal for railfans, C&O enthusiasts and modelers.</div></p>
