Over 30 years of meticulous research has gone into this volume which details the caboose cars of America's oldest railroad, one of the most extensive and interesting fleets of caboose cars in the country. This accurately researched work corrects many of the errors which currently exist in caboose history. Particularly useful to modelers. Each class of caboose features a dimensioned drawing and photographs showing the car in actual service.

This review is from: Baltimore and Ohio Cabooses Vol. 1: Photos and Diagrams (Hardcover)
If you are interested in cabooses from the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, this is the book to buy. It has many great historical photos (many taken by the author or copied from collections) along with detailed drawings (great for modelers). I'm anxious to read the next volume from Mr. Jones.
