Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Power in Color -- Including PC&Y, Montour and Y&S Hardcover, 128 Pages

Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Power in Color is a look at railroads serving heavy industry in the industrial belt between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Youngstown, Ohio. Coverage includes the P&LE, known as the "Little Giant" for the vast tonnage it carried over a short route, as well as affiliated railroads Pittsburgh, Chartiers & Youghiogheny (PC&Y), Montour, and Youngstown & Southern (Y&S). Steel and related industries were the P&LE's lifeline, and when "Big Steel" collapsed in the late 1980s, so did the Little Giant. Alco, EMD and FM switchers worked with Alco PAs, RS3s and GP7s hauling tonnage and passengers. See great images of the railroad's fleet of U28Bs, GP38s, GP38-2s and SW diesels! P&LE Power in Color is one of many Morning Sun books covering railroad motive power rosters. Hardcover, 128 pages.
