This book contains hundreds of B/W photographs of the Atantic Coast Line's diesel locomotives. There several color photos as well. It also has a great deal of reference to when these units first came to the ACL and their final disposition. This book has many of the same characteristics displayed in Richard F. Prince's numerous steam locomotive reference books. It is a must have for any railroad historian, or fan.

outstanding overview of the coast lines diesel fleet from early diesel purchases in the late 1930s to the 1967 merger with rival seaboard.includes rosters,purchases,dispositions,retirements,paintscheme diagrams and evolution.excellent photos of each class.perfect companion volume to warren calloways 1st book seaboard motive power.must have for coast line and seaboard fan or modeler

For anyone interested in the ACL's fleet of motive power, this book is a must-have. As in other of Mr. Calloway's fine railroad books, each model of loco is catagorized along with a good history of each model. Even small detail differences between the same model engine is noted so as to identify each of the phases of model. Re-build's are also noted. The photographs are excellent. This book is especially helpful for the ACL modeler. I'm glad I've got my copy.
