商品簡介

First published in 1959 and revised in 1968, this is a book for the L&N's many steam fans. With hundreds of vintage photographs, detailed rosters, and schematic drawings, it is an invaluable resource for railroad buffs and historians. But even casual readers will become swept up in the way Mr. Prince traces the growth and diversification of the L&N as it grows and expands through an ambitious building plan and the acquisition of numerous independent lines.

Richard E. Prince was born in 1920 and was raised in Norfolk, Virginia. He attended Georgia School of Technology in Atlanta, graduating in 1942 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. After working a year in the L&N Railroad South Louisville Shops as a special apprentice, he joined the Merchant Marines. He obtained his 3rd
Assistant Engineer License and sailed during the war as 3rd engineer on steam Liberty ships. Prince returned to the L&N Railroad at South Louisville Shops where he became Assistant to the General Foreman in the steam back shop and roundhouse. In 1952 Prince joined the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Union Pacific Railroad and was sent to Green River, Wyoming, where he was part of the Gas Turbine Locomotive Staff for 15 years. In 1969 he transferred to the Omaha Mechanical Engineering Department of the UPRR. Prince retired in 1983, and lives in Omaha, Nebraska. His ten books on railroads have sold over 20,000 copies.
