Exactly What I Was Looking For!

The CSX Clinchfield Route, for Clinchfield fans only only
Unless you are a fan of the Clinchfield, AND a seasoned railroad fan, this lovely photographed volume may be lost on you. It was me.

This review is from: The CSX Clinchfield Route in the 21st Century (Railroads Past and Present) (Hardcover)

Well, this book is great for explaining everything you would want to know about the modern-day operations over the line. There are tons of details about trains, routes, landmarks, and even some of the equipment used--and it is relatively current (it was published just a few years ago).

This review is from: The CSX Clinchfield Route in the 21st Century (Railroads Past and Present) (Hardcover)
Unless you are a fan of the Clinchfield, AND a seasoned railroad fan, this lovely photographed volume may be lost on you. It was me. Most pictures are of 2 CSX grey/blue/yellow engines pulling cars of coal, as on the cover. A fair amount of unexplained railroad speak left me wondering, and tantalizing notions of rotary couplers, bottom dumps, or rotating car in action never shown nor explained. The author and photographer did a marvelous job with what they had to work with, but it appears this volume belongs with a series designed for the professional railroad man or highly knowlegable fan
