Red Balls, tonnage trains, coal traffic and iron ore freight trains of the Missouri Pacific Lines from the 1930s to the 1980s spring vividly to life. Dorin explores the freight equipment that moved the goods, and the locomotives, both steam and diesel, that handled the freight and passenger trains. Rosters are included as well as material on the paint schemes from the blue and gray to all blue, and then the merger into Union Pacific yellow. Diesel rosters cover the period from the 1940s up through the UP merger in the 1980s.

By "rockislandmike" (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Missouri Pacific Lines Freight Train Services and Equipment (Hardcover)
An excellent, must-have resource for any Missouri Pacific fans or modellers. Great quality pictures (and a lot of 'em), along with descriptive text about many of the movements and timelines for the railroad.
