Seaboard Air Line Passenger Service

The Streamlined Era is a complete history of the Seaboard's passenger trains from the late 1930's, when streamlining first entered the picture, through the SCL and Amtrack eras. This detailed and highly understandable book covers all Seaboard trains, from the flashiest streamliners to plodding locals, together with the varied and distinctive SAL passenger car roster. Author Larry Goolsby has done a masterful job of research, compilation, analysis, and distillation to tell the full story of SAL passenger trains in their last great decades. This comprehensive volume will be a valuable reference for the Seaboard or passenger train fan, and a readable story of how this railroad accommodated and catered tot he heavy passenger traffic on its north-south route. Illustrations from numerous sources complement the literate text.
