The Back Shop Illustrated, Volume 3: Southeast and Western Regions

Description: The third and final volume of the Back Shops series covers the southeast and western parts of the United States. These regions had unique challenges. The southern railroads generally earned less money than those of the north and therefore their shops were often small, cramped, and obsolete. The western railroads had long mainline runs through sparsely populated states and used the largest locomotives in the world. Despite these handicaps, they had some of the most famous and legendary back shops in the country, including the Roanoke Shops of the Norfolk and Western, the Mount Clare Shops of the Baltimore and Ohio, the Toledo Shops of the Santa Fe, and the Sacramento Shops of the Southern Pacific. This fascinating book describes a total of 16 railroads and their 50 shop sites and contains nearly 500 maps, diagrams, and photographs. 358 pages.
