I also have a few additions to make-

Books-

Amtrak By The Numbers

Essentially a giant all time roster. The book was so huge, that at first I thought they were missing some stuff, but upon further inspection, many things had their own sections. The only equipment that appears to be left out is Maitenance of Way.

Cars, locomotives, their previous owners, and fates are all listed and are supposedly accurate up to mid-2011. While the book focuses on just listing equipment, the captions by the photos give some of the history and back ground. Each section has a few introductory pages as well, with brief information on larger groups of cars, and happenings.

Railroad Documents-

NJ Transit Electrical Operating Instructions TRO-3 2011

Basically, how to deal with the electrical portions of NJ transit's system.

NJ Transit System Timetable No. 6 Special Instructions GO 601 (November 2011)

Pennsylvania Railroad Diesel-Electric Locomotive Examinations for Employes in Locomotive Service (November, 1958)
