From the Publisher, TLC Railroad Books:
272 Pages Hardbound with over 200 illustrations on 100 pound enamel
stock NC&StL was owned most of its life by the L&N before
being merged in 1957. Linking the Tennessee cities in its name across
the Appalachians to the Southeast, powered by workhouse Mikados,
fast Pacifics and large Mountains as well as the first 4-8-4s in
the South, the line had all the attributes of a great trunk line
hauler. Complete, detailed, superbly researched history 1840s-1950s.
A must for NC&StL and L&N fans and others interested in
the South.
Here are some reader comments:
"In one word: SUPERB!"
"...what a wonderful collection of photographs and other
items... it really looks great..."
"You did a wonderful job! I really enjoyed it and learned
many things I did not know about the railroad."
"You've certainly packed lots of valuable history and operational
data about the road between the front and back covers..."
"It's fantastic. I never knew there could be that much
information on the NC."
"This work sets a new standard of excellence in railway
books. It deserves an award for publishing excellence. I have
a huge railroad history library and this I rate among the Top
10 of that collection. Congratulations - it will be hard to top
this!
"I can say it's everything I expected and more. I have
run trains through
Dickson many times and never knew there were engine facilities
and
more there... Mighty good job, Dain, mighty good."
