Pennsy Steam and Semaphores - Hardcover
This book focuses on the Pennsylvania Railroad between 1890 and 1920, describing the locomotives, rolling stock and trains themselves in affectionate and accurate detail. Photos from this era are often hard to find and these show equipment, personnel, and trackside structures. Among the materials covered are the Atlantics, the Pennsylvania Special (including a reprint of Hamilton Peltz's "A Night on the Locomotive of the 'Pennsylvania Special'"), signals, coal consumption, Walschaerts valve gears, freight trains, and Pacific locomotives. In addition to the chapters on the equipment, there are also two pictorial essays that show the work life of Martin H. Lee, a New York Division engineer, and Oliver P. Keller, a Philadelphia Division engineman. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. 187 pages.
