Title: Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac Passenger Service 1935-1953
Seller ID: TL159
Author William E. Griffin, Jr. tells the story of the passenger service of this 110-mile long railroad that linked the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Airline railroads south of Richmond, Va. with the whole Northeastern US. via Washington, DC during the period of 1935-1975. It was during this era that the railroad's passenger service enjoyed its greatest triumphs and suffered its most severe setbacks. Throughout its history the RF&P served as the biggest little railroad in the country with its strategic mainline providing the most direct connecting link between the North and the South. Hence, the history of the RF&P's passenger service inevitably involves the history of the passenger service of its connecting lines. Topics include local and through service, passenger rolling stock, stations along the line, special train operations and concluding with a color section on the road's beautiful passenger diesel locomotives.
