Publisher Description: Southern Pacific Daylight Steam Locomotives covers the Daylight's inception and glory years, the Warbaby era, the Western Pacific versions, the American Freedom Train, and the modern-day adventures of the 4449. It includes full technical details, specifications, and complete historical data on all the Daylights. Variations in the appearance of the engines, a "Daylight Spotter's Guide," numerous first-person accounts from the people who ran the Daylights, and a thorough index make this a book you'll refer to time and time again. This book is the story of "the most beautiful trains in the world." The aesthetic qualities that made the Daylights stand out are documented in words and more than 250 photographs. The photos in this edition are black & white. |
