Well-written and beautifully photographed coverage of the steam engines that have been been preserved and restored by mainline railroads across the United States and Canada. This is a book about the steam engines that the Norfolk & Western, the Canadian National, the Union Pacific and similar lines have kept running, whether for special occasions or just because they represent an important part of the company's history. The author looks at both the large railroads, such as UP, and four of the narrow-gauge survivors.  Illustrated throughout with a mix of black and white and color photos. With decorative end papers. 208 pages.

Mainline Steam Revival

From WWII into the '70s the communist countries, lacking capital for dieselization, continued to build &amp; operate steam locomotives. This presented a powerful attraction for steam fans. The authors, certifiable foamers, yielded in spite of the paranoid restrictions upon photography. This heavily illustrated (456 photos, 88 in color) survey of the Soviet Union, E. Europe, China, Korea, Vietnam and Cuba is a unique record of the waning years of a power source then virtually extinct in the West. They describe their tribulations, the locomotions, and present fair to excellent photos of the nostalgic beasts. A fine treatment for the fan and the student of transportation. Lacks maps &amp; an index. Amereon is at Box 1200, Mattituck, NY 11952. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Fascinating look at the electric engines which have powered the LIRR. (Between 1905-66, they were Pennsylvania Railroad engines as the LIRR was a wholly owned subsidiary.) This black and white pictorial history shows the engines and trains in action with lots of shots of the stations, tracks, yards and car interiors which bring the story to life. Invaluable for the LIRR rail buff or modeler. 48 pages.
