If there is a business to represent America when there were no doubts, this is it. Steam, electric, diesel, it's all here. And a surprising amount of classic images of other . "Really Excellent Photo Book" according to Moo Cow. This is certainly an incredible collection of color photos of PRR during the period the book is about. It's really amazing to see the PRR in all its color glory. But the book has a couple down sides that prevent it from receiving 5 stars, IMHO. First, I think there is just a bit too much covere. Very nice book for your collection R. Brooks What a great book! I loved the photos and the narrative.
