Item description from seller

Signed and inscribed by author. LIKE NEW, no dust jacket as issued. No marks and tight binding. 176 pages : illustrations ; 29 cm. . . . . . . . TABLE OF CONTNETS: 1.) Historical Overview -- 2.) Peace and Modernization -- 3.) Stability, Then Evolution -- 4.) The Final ACL Years -- 5.) Postscript: SCL and Amtrak -- 6.) Local, Connecting, and Mixed Service -- 7.) Special Passenger Train Service -- 8.) Consists -- 9.) Passenger Locomotives & Equipment -- 10.) Colorful Coast Line. . . . . . . . . . The book chronicles the passenger operations of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL), a major southeastern U.S. carrier, focusing on its final decades before the 1971 creation of Amtrak. The volume highlights the railroad?s reputation for quality service under its slogan *the Route of Courteous Service.* It details the dramatic shifts from the 1930s to the late 1950s, including the transition from steam to diesel locomotives, the rise of lightweight streamlined trains, and the decline of traditional local passenger services. Presented largely in chronological order, the book gives special attention to named trains, streamliners, and everyday locals, supported by numerous photographs and illustrations that bring the era?s equipment, routes, and operations to life. Goolsby, a noted southeastern railroad historian and author of related works on the Atlantic Coast Line, draws on his expertise as a board member of the ACL & SAL Historical Society to deliver a detailed yet accessible account aimed at rail enthusiasts. The book serves as both a visual record and a narrative of how one railroad adapted to changing times in the mid-20th century passenger rail landscape.
