Another great history of a Southeastern road from the pen of William E. Griffin, Jr. Atlantic Coast Line - Standard Railroad of the South treats the history of this important carrier in general terms, with concentration on the steam and diesel locomotives, freight and passenger cars, depots and terminals along with operation. The ACL was justly famous for its great New York-Florida streamliners, but was also an important freight hauler. This volume opens with a general history of the line then concentrates on steam and diesel locomotives, passenger service and equipment, freight service and equipment. Extended photo captions provide details on the facilities and operations from the late steam era through the merger with SAL in 1967. This book is ideal for passenger buffs, ACL fans, and people interested in Southeastern US railroading. Modelers will like the many photos including detail views.
