Chesapeake & Ohio Pullman-Standard
Lightweight Passenger Cars, 1950-1971
by Thomas W. Dixon, Jr.
 
This is the first of our 2021 History Series quarterly books, so if you're a subscriber, "the book is in the mail" or you have it.
 
But . . . . . if you're not a subscriber, you may now order this book individually, or you may want to sign up (we hope) for the whole 2021 series. This helps us by giving us a base of income for the books and also gives you a price that is just about equal to wholesale.
 
This book deals with the famous 284-car order of passenger cars C&O placed right after WWII to reequip all its trains. The order was cut down over the years until there were only about 120 cars delivered to C&O in 1950. Even some of these were sold to other railroads, though.  Other cars had already been sold to various railroads before they were delivered to C&O. This made the whole group widely interesting among railfans, passenger train aficionados, and modelers.
 
This 96-page book with over 160 photos tells the complete story in text, roster and detailed exterior and inside photos. Interwoven is the story of C&O passenger trains in the last 20 years of service when the coaches, sleepers, and a few of the other cars from this order constituted the bulk of C&O's passenger train operations.
 
Get the whole story of this important batch of cars in this seminal era!
