Baltimore & Ohio Cabooses: Photos & Diagrams
|
| By : Dwight Jones |
More than 30 years of meticulous research have gone into this project that details one of the most extensive and oldest fleets of cabooses cars in the country. A two-page spread on each class of cabooses features a dimensioned drawing on one page and photograph of the car in action on the facing page. Much of the photography and all of the drawings featured have never before been published. Probably the most accurate volume available on the subject, this work corrects many errors that, until now, have been accepted as true.

| By : Brian Solomon, John Gruber |
For more than a century, the caboose was an integral feature of the American freight train. That rich history comes to life in this colorful photo history celebrating every style, vintage and color of the caboose. While alluding to the long history and folklore associated with the caboose before its demise in the late 20th century, the book details the 19th century evolution, the designs, and the different styles of the caboose used by railroads across the country.

Freight Train Cars (Enthusiast Color Series)
|
| By : Mike Schafer, Mike McBride |
In the world of railway enthusiasts and modelers, freight carriers are every bit as technically involved and evocative as engines and cabooses. This color gallery pictures and describes, well, a trainload of "rolling stock"--boxcars, flatcars, hoppers, gondolas, tank cars, auto-rack transports and others--representing a variety of railways in action around the nation. Engines may provide the power and cabooses the sentimetal value, but without that which comes in between, both are moot.

The American Freight Train
|
| By : Jim Boyd, Mike Schafer |
In The American Freight Train, author Jim Boyd documents the evolution of freight traffic by examining the various types of freight and how railroads have handled them since the first horse-powered tramways in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania began moving coal and aggregate over crude wooden rails early in the 1800s. Supporting this often intricate tale of the freight train are some 200 illustrations: vintage color and black and white photos from nearly all periods, diagrams depicting yard operations, and maps that show the relationships of early railroads to the lands they served.
