Southern Railway Diesel Locomotives and Trains 1950-1982
"Curt Tillotson takes a close and very personal look at the Southern Railway through his own photography from the 1960--1980 period, supplemented by others for earlier dates back to 1950. He looks at each and every class of SR diesel from beginning to end and fully illustrates them both with roster photos and with action pictures. About 90% of the book consists of excellent photos of trains at various locations across the Southern Railway System with extended, detailed captions, which give much background and history." ~ TLC Publishing
Southern Railway Diesel Locomotives and Trains 1950-1982
"This volume will be more of the material contained in the first volume, with additional locomotives treated and illustrated, with author Tillotson’s expansive captions. He continues the documentation of Southern’s first and second generation diesel fleets with great action and still photos, ending with the Norfolk Southern merger beginnings in 1982. Tillotson took most of the photos himself and is able to give long and very folksy narratives about each. ~ TLC Publishing
