Focusing on both the historical and modern eras of the company, the book is a visitor’s guide to NCRC operations. Included are maps, rail traffic details and a current locomotive roster. The author, a former NCRC employee, took most of the photos that illustrate this informative guide. 64 pages, Color, Photos, Maps, Softcover.
