Handsomely done collection of photos and schematic diagrams for the C&O's freight car equipment as of August 1, 1937. The first part of the book is a reprint of an official C&O booklet showing a photo and diagram for each of the different kinds of freight cars available to shippers with modern commentary on the facing page about the particular car. The second part of the book is made up of Appendices showing (1) freight cars that C&O did not include because they were considered obsolete at the time, (2) cabooses, (3) painting and lettering, and (4) corrections and updates. Unpaginated but about 162 pages.

<p>See the C&amp;O railroad as it was modeled in its glorious steam era by author Dan Zugelter. In the book we travel westward from Hinton, W. Va., on the New River Subdivision through Quinnimont, Prince, Thurmond, Sewell, and the New River Gorge. The second part of the book follows a trip from Hinton over the Alleghany Subdivision through Alderson, White Sulphur Springs, and Alleghany. Engines and crews change at Hinton, and pushers cut off at Alleghany just as in actual operation.</p>
