This sweeping view of the work and products of American Car & Foundry celebrates the companys Centennial in 1999. Author Kaminski covers corporate history and product development, but emphasizes the immense variety and extent of railcar production over the past century. More than 1200 photographs, most from the files of the builder and few ever published, make this a superb tour of car designs, railroad and private owners, and production of freight, passenger, and other car types.
Customer Review: Must-Own for Rail Car and Railroad Enthusiasts
If you are a rail car or railroad enthusiast, this book needs to be in your collection. Ed Kaminski has put together a fantastic book about the American Car and Foundry(ACF)Company. This book is a great information source. But believe me, the extensive compilation of photography is what will keep your nose in it for hours, and keep you coming back for more. This book has it all! Early cars at the turn of the century, the first "tank car", up through present day railcars, you will see it and learn about the company that has very deep roots in the growth of America via the railroad. It makes a great gift for your favorite railroad buff, and kids will really enjoy the colorful cars and the interesting facts about them. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has any interest whatsoever in rail cars or the railroad industry. Ed has done a fantastic job of bringing it to you.
