DESCRIPTION:
A delightful and nostalgic look back at the last two decades of steam operations in the South. Detailed captions provide information and background data on all train types.. Tillotson examines the steam trains of the Southeastern US in nostalgic photos of the era 1930-1950, illustrating operations on many of the South's premier railroads including Southern, Seaboard, Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville & Nashville, Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac, and many others
