The railroads are arranged in alphabetical order and the entries include a description and brief history address telephone number miles of road operated weight of rail, load limit, radio frequency location of enginehouse detailed locomotive roster, and number of cars. The information was compiled by the author. a well-known authority on short lines and was reviewed for accuracy by the railroads themselves.

The two previous editions of The American Short Line Railway Guide, published by the author in 1973 and 1978 and now out of print were especially useful and established a reputation for accuracy. This all-new third edition should prove equally worthy as a handy field guide and a useful reader's companion. It's a book you'll keep in your camera bag or your glove compartment and on the table next to your favorite reading chair.
