Free historical railroad books - Justinmiller171 - 11-12-2011
I was browsing through Google's Ebook store and I found some great free railroad books, these can all be read right in your internet browser if you click "View Sample". I hope you guys will find these books helpful for scratchbuilding, etc.

Those books are going back! copyright 1916 on the Passenger one. The only Pennsy was a few DD1s and MP54s. No boxcabs! In fact, the DD1s were only a few years old, and MP54s would have been brand spanking new in that book!

That's why they're "free".
