Outbound Trains features distinguished photographer, writer and rail magazine editor Jim Boyd's best images from the early 1960s through the 1970s, with emphasis on the colorful first-generation diesel railroads before "merger mania."
Outbound Trains takes the reader coast to coast with most major American railroads and provides a sampling of interesting short lines and restored main-line and museum steam.
This remarkable collection brims over with spectacular photographs of aging roundhouses, country stations, busy interlocking towers and the great stations of Chicago; pre-Amtrak passenger trains, from the Twentieth Century Limited and the Midnight Special to lowly locals, mail trains and branchline doodlebugs; N&W Geeps and SDs in the West Virginia coalfields; the California Zephyr threading through the Feather River Canyon; and slant-nose, stainless-steel-paneled Burlington E5s racing across the Illinois prairie; Pennsylvania GG1 electric, Milwaukee Road boxcabs and Little Joes; and historic steam, including Southern Pacific Daylight 4449 and Union Pacific Challenger 3985, "the world's largest operating steam locomotive," at speed.
Outbound Trains is an absolute must for every railfan's bookshelf.
