Dwight Jones 160 pages Hardcover
This
book covers Western Maryland non-revenue equipment that survived into
the Chessie System years and received a Chessie six-digit road
number. Every piece of equipment is covered in a detailed roster
giving old and new numbers and equipment histories. The 160-page
hard cover book contains extensive photo coverage with nearly 200
photos (25 in color), 36 WM AFEs explaining the railroad’s
justification for the equipment and its cost, 34 diagram sheets and 2
maps. This is the most extensive coverage ever afforded to WM
maintenance equipment. See the history of wreck cranes, Jordan
Spreaders, scale test cars, ballast cars, former Troop Sleeper and
Kitchen cars, safety instruction cars, and all other types. One
chapter covers those cars which have survived, mostly at museums and
tourist lines.
