1950s Freight Car Color Guide THREE VOLUME Hardcover Bundle

James Kinkaid and Ken Donnelly

Volume 1: The 1950s are arguably the classic era for freight cars, pre-dating the mergers that would erase many venerable roads and leave us with new names such as Penn Central, Seaboard Coast Lines, and Erie-Lackawanna. In the 1950s, "boxcar red" was everywhere, but colorful new paint schemes were arriving and turning heads. It was the final decade of friction bearings and roofwalks, and the ultimate years of stock cars, ice-bunker refrigerator cars, and even the XM 40' boxcar!

Volume 2: Freight cars across North America featuring (just to name a few) New York Central, PRR, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Southern Pacific, ATSF, C&O and everywhere in between - an immense variety of mid-20th Century freight!

Volume 3: The conclusion to the three-part series! Featuring refrigerator cars, stock and tank cars and early piggyback equipment. Plus, express, milk, pickle cars, and more!
