This ALL-COLOR book from Robert P. Olmsted features 75 color photographs of Nickel Plate steam-powered freights taken during 1957 and 1958 at Calumet Yard in Chicago, Hammond, Indiana, Bellevue, Ohio, and a number of other locations in between. You'll get plenty of steam action, lots of smoke, freight cars, semaphore signals, detail photographs and beautiful mid-western vistas captured on Kodachrome more than 50 years ago!
The S-2 Berkshires held down fast freight assignments on the NKP's Chicago and Fort Wayne Divisions right up to the end of steam and these Lima 2-8-4's built during World War II made for one of the most exciting shows in the Midwest at the time.
Excellent color reproduction!
