Before the coming of Amtrak in 1971, the Seaboard Air Line Railroad was long recognized as having some of the best long-distance passenger trains in the country. Billing itself as “the Route of Courteous Service” Seaboard took great pride in running trains that the public would like the first time and would want to ride again and again. This book focuses on the last decades of Seaboard’s existence. The 1930s through the late 1950s in particular witnessed many dramatic changes – the replacement of steam with diesels, the ascendancy of lightweight trains, and the last hurrah of the once-familiar local passenger train. This is a chronological account, although special treatment has been given to Seaboard’s lightweight trains, other named trains and locals.

The story of the Atlantic Coast Line's wonderful postwar passenger trains is told in a readable narrative supported by scores of company publicity photos that depict the trains inside and out. This book not only covers the great New York-to-Florida streamliners, but also the locals and workaday passenger trains that crisscrossed the ACL system. Also featured are car and locomotive rosters, diagrams and drawings, and other material useful to modelers in constructing and painting ACL passenger cars.

This 176-page book tells the complete story of the merger and operation of two of the Southern's great railroads: Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line, and their highly successful operation as Seaboard Coast Line. It carries the story down to the additional consolidation of Louisville & Nashville and Clinchfield Railroads into the system to form Seaboard System, just before its merger with Chessie System to become today's CSX Transportation. Passenger and freight operations and cars are covered in detail as well as all other aspects of the line's operation.

Formed in 1980 as a holding company for the Chessie and Seaboard Systems and several other eastern railroads, CSX in 1986 merged these several companies into CSX Transportation, staking its claim as one of the nation's dominant merger roads. This illustrated history provides a background of CSX's 25 years on the American railroad scene, describing how the company came to swallow several legendary regional lines and merger roads. The book also examines CSX hardware, facilities, and operations on more than 20,000 miles of trackage throughout the eastern half of the United States, from 1980 through today. Included is an explanation of the 1999 agreement by which CSX and Norfolk Southern purchased and effectively split the operations of their northern rival Conrail. Marvelous color photography, of course, depicts CSX diesel-electric powered freight operations in eastern and Midwestern U.S. urban centers and rural areas.
