Mahoning Valley Rails in Color -- 1988-2006 (Hardcover, 128 Pages)

Mahoning Valley Rails in Color from Morning Sun Books details the changes to railroads in the Mahoning River Valley around Youngstown, Ohio, from 1988 - 2006. During this period, Chessie System's former Baltimore & Ohio lines had already been taken over by CSX, and Conrail would be purchased by Norfolk Southern. The Pittsburgh and Lake Erie disappeared; the Ohio Central System arrived in the Mahoning Valley and the Youngstown and Southern would be operated by a couple different railroad companies. The book by noted rail author David Baer is a fascinating, all-color look at the railroads that served this steel mill area in an era of great change. Mahoning Valley Rails in Color is one of many titles from Morning Sun Books loaded with information about the railroads which became the Chessie System. Hardcover, 128 pages.
