This is a beautiful color picture book of B&O, C&O and Western Maryland diesels as they became Chessie diesels (and even several pics of them becoming CSX diesels later). Even the Appalachian scenery in the background of many pics is terrific. I added this to my Western Maryland collection as sort of an "end of the WM era" book, giving "closure" to my WM books and memorabilia.

Another excellent publication by TLC. Beautifully presented, well bound, presentation great. Text brief but informative, photos excellent. A great reference for the railroad modeller and rail buff. A good buy and an essential addition to the bookcase although it will be out more often than in the bookcase. Great for overseas railfan/modellers like me. Thoroughly RECOMMEND.

This is a wonderful reference for Chessie System Diesel fans. The presentation is top notch and quite innovative. While the text is primarily captions and tabular data, the color photographs are uniformly excellent. Each page is trimmed with the Chessie System colors creating a stiking presentation. One aspect of the layout that I did not like was the way the captions are enclosed in small text boxes inside the photos. I wish that the book designers had placed the captions outside of the photos. All in all this is an excellent book and a good reference for diesel modelers and railfans.

While there are a very few "word glitches or text errors" that I have noticed so far, I have to rate this book very highly. The photography is excellent and on par with other very good color RR books. TLC Publishing has come a long way and this book is well worth its price in my opinion. I recommend it to any Chessie fan.
