The third in a series of titles covering Conrail's first years of operations (1976-1982), this book features more of the finest in early Conrail photography. The book covers Conrail's "Rainbow Years" during contracted commuter operations in New Jersey, when motive power in a variety of patched-out color schemes from NJDOT and predecessor railroads operated along the Raritan Valley and North Jersey Coast Lines.
A smattering of freshly painted NJDOT locomotives, as well as other railroads' locomotives that were purchased to alleviate power shortages, added to the color palette. This book features over 140 full-color images of Conrail's unique Rainbow Years.
Softcover, 90 pages, standard portrait format, 8.5 x 11 x .25 in., Color photographs with captions.
