Well-done pictorial history of the C&O's development and use of the H-7 2-8-8-2 steam locomotive. The H-7 served to bridge the gap between the era of the drag-freight and the the modern era of speed and power-at-sped locomotives, proving that a simple articulated locomotive could combine tremendous tractive power with sustained speed while pulling heavy loads. The author describes the H-7's predecessors, the design and construction and the H-7's life on the line, including interviews with the men who ran them. With roster, map, drawings, and technical charts, foldout sheet with schematic diagrams. With oversized foldout schematic diagram of all aspects of the H-7 in a rear pocket. 54 pages.

A delightful album of Chessie System photographs taken from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s - the Chessie Era. For 13 years the Chessie System existed as a holding company for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and the Western Maryland Railway. During this time their locomotives and cars wore the brilliant yellow, maroon and blue paint scheme and the famous Chessie sleeping kitten herald. Hundreds of color and b&w photographs capture Chessie System trains throughout the rust belt. Includes shots of the Chessie System Special steam excursion train.
