Description

Volume 6 in this series saw the introduction of forty-five new steam locomotives and three Wrecking Cranes.

Volume 5 now goes back to the appointment of Webb and his rehabilitation of the SAR. This includes the introduction of railcars, rolling stock, stations, roundhouses, turntables, coaling plants & bridges.

Ron Stewien covers all of these in Volume 5 with 240 pages packed to the hilt with information. The book includes 170 photographs, 16 in colour, and 154 in monotone (one in sepia). There are 25 rolling stock diagrams and 21 other diagrams (including a train control graph). Two gatefolds display plans and photographs of the Pullman cars in the way such historic vehicles should be viewed. A list of references and further reading follow the Appendices. A comprehensive Index winds up the back of the book before a few notes on the author.
