Author Description

Fascinating look at U.S. Steel's Lake Terminal Railroad as well as the Newburgh and South Shore Railway (US Steel's other railroad). This is not a history but a collection of black and white photographs, most with very helpful captions. The book shows the railroad's engines from the first tiny steam locomotive to modern diesels. Includes rosters for steam and diesel locomotives for both railways as well as 30 pages of schematic diagrams of the locomotives. With detailed maps showing the layout of the plants and the industrial area around Lorain, track maps, and bibliography. Invaluable resource for any modeler or industrial archaeologist. 183 pages.
