CSX Power In Color FIVE VOLUME Hardcover Bundle

Kurt Reisweber

Volume 1: First in a series of books on CSX locomotives is this volume covering four-axle diesels built by EMD that were originally purchased by predecessor railroads that later became components of the CSX system. Photos show the units in many stages of their careers, and in many paint schemes, including shots of them as Chesapeake & Ohio, Baltimore & Ohio, Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville & Nashville, and other various original colors.

Volume 2: Volume 2 in this series of books on CSX locomotives features General Electric four-axle units originally built for the ACL, SAL, SCL, L&N, Monon, Seaboard System, and C&O. Photo images, roster and action, often start with the units in their as-built owner paint schemes and progress on through several successor company colors to culminate in a variety of CSX blue-gray and yellow-nose paint variations.

Volume 3: The third volume of CSX Power in Color features six-axle locomotives of CSX predecessor railroads built by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. Photography includes examples of the units throughout their entire careers beginning with 1960s original paint schemes like ACL, SAL, L&N, B&O, C&O, and WM. Outstanding action photos are liberally combined with many comparative roster shots in a colorful multitude of paint schemes.

Volume 4: This volume highlights GE six-axle locomotives inherited from predecessor roads (e.g., Chesapeake & Ohio, Seaboard Coast Line, Louisville & Nashville). Packed with unusual equipment, it features four- and six-axle road slugs built by CSX from older power remains, various rebuilds of older power (e.g., GP40-3 and SD40-3), plus road slugs running deep in the wild coalfields of West Virginia! 

Volume 5: Continues the series with a mix of roster and action photos of another segment of the CSX all-time locomotive fleet! Featured are locomotives acquired used by CSX either through acquisition of whole railroads or by purchase of individual locomotives. Units acquired from Conrail and the RF&P are included, as are former Delaware & Hudson, Susquehanna, Monongahela, EMD, and Amtrak power.
