by Harry Stegmaier

Hardbound, 100 pages, 100+ color photographs. Stegmaier, a widely known passenger car historian, illustrates the C&O's post-war passenger fleet, dealing with both the old heavyweight cars that were retained and used, and the new streamlined lightweight cars built in 1948 and 1950. He uses extended captions to tell the story of how the car was used and where in a way not treated in any publication before. An addendum gives typical car diagrams, and typical standard train consists for different period, so the book can be used easily by passenger train historians, C&O fans, and modellers not only to see the cars but to understand how they were used in daily service.
