Mainline Steam Revival

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.
