74."A Sampling Of Penn Central" by Jerry Taylor.

THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN ON PENN CENTRAL (in this collector's
opinion). Why? Because it was written by a PC General Manager, who KNEW the
railroad. This book covers the entire Southwest Region (Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky) in intimate detail. About 400 pages, each
page has a black & white photo with a full page of description about the
photo on the facing page. If you're into how a railroad REALLY works,
trackage arrangements, shippers, operations, etc., then this book simply can
't be beat & can never be duplicated. Originally published in 1973, this is
a 2000 reprint by Indiana University Press. This book is currently available
from IUP for $60, I am offering it here brand new, still in the shrink wrap
for $50 LAST ONE!
