This review is from: CSX Diesel Locomotives in Color (Hardcover)
Being a CSX employee, I am always critical on everything I read about my employer. This book was fantastic! Great information about the locomotives that are "Trusted to Move America". In depth descriptions, history of the motive power, and schematic drawings to show how the paint is applied to each unit. The only drawback I feel is the limited locations of photography. It has alot of Appalacian area photographs, which must be where the author/authors live. This book could have used photo's from across the system to give it more of an overall CSX feel. Other than that, a great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars CSX Locomotives, July 13, 2000
This review is from: CSX Diesel Locomotives in Color (Hardcover)
An excellent presentation, securely bound, top notch paper, clear and easy to read with great photos. I agree it is a must for a railroad modeller or fan of the CSX, very informative. Couldn't put it down and one I'll refer to constantly. And if you live outside USA - A MUST.

This review is from: CSX Diesel Locomotives in Color (Hardcover)
This is a great book for railbuffs, modelrailroaders,and just about anyone interested in trains. It will come in handy if you are modelrailroader who is modeling CSX. Take it from me. This is just a great book.
