<p>H. Reid was one of the greats of railroad photography. Only three of his color photos were published before this book and this handsomely done, full color pictorial showcases evocative shots of his favorite lines, the Norfolk and Western and the Virginian Railways. He began taking 35mm color photos in 1954 and was thus able to capture late steam action, especially in and around his home town of Norfolk, VA. This book selects 160 of his best photos, of all varieties from both railroads, and portrays them with informative captions as a portfolio of his work as well as a "last hurrah" of his beloved steam locomotives. Not issued with dust jacket. 100 pages.</p>
