I'm pleased with both books Brian. Both were gifts so I didn't have to make decisions about relative worth or expense 
but each has 128 pages of all color photos featuring the diverse types of locomotives on the PC roster commonly associated with various geographical locations on the system. (for example, the use of F7s and GP9Bs on the B&M trackage). I can relate to having an interest in particular regions. The first volume with photos of New England and NY state is my favorite as it reminds me of my boyhood home. The second volume (Boston to Philly) should please PC electric locomotive fans but it also contains New Haven photos, a nice picture of diesels in a locomotive servicing yard, RDCs, and shots of a former Pennsy tug boat.
Thanks for the heads up on the Pennsylvania West Lines books. I haven't seen them yet but I have appreciated both of the PC oriented issues of TRP.
