About this product
Product Information
One of America's greatest railroads, serving the Midwest and the South for more than 150 years before being acquired by Canadian National in 1999, the Illinois Central ran some of the nation's most famous passenger trains (most notably the City of New Orleans), as well as a freight service renowned for its quality. This comprehensive and beautifully illustrated history of the "Main Line of Mid-America"-the railroad that brought us engineer Luther "Casey" Jones-looks at Illinois Central's motive power and rolling stock, its good old reliable passenger service and crack freight operations, and its most interesting routes. Drawing on archival records and interviews with former employees, and illustrated with photographs from collections around the country, this volume brings to vibrant life a rich chapter of American railroad history.

O Scale Trains Magazine , March 2007 “One of the nicest aspects of this book is the spread of locomotive types covered. Often, coverage within a single chapter will range from brilliantly-colored diesels from the second half of the Twentieth Century, contrasted with black and white steam locomotive portraits taken by James Shaughnessy. The contrasting styles are held together by a good layout that provides the visual consistency--or glue--to create a pleasing story.�, O Scale Trains Magazine," March 2007 " One of the nicest aspects of this book is the spread of locomotive types covered.
