I found this to be up there will one of the better written books on a particular train. It has been nicely edited and the photos are well done. The embedded tables showing consists and their placement are extremely helpful in following what is going on over time. As I am a collector of schedules and other customer brochure, I enjoyed seeing cover copies of these items from the author's collection. Lots of good detail here AND it doesn't read like a catalog (I'm beginning to sound like a broken record on that point). This one is clearly worth adding to your collection if you are a passenger train person. ( )
