Description

This series of books, through the use of exquisitely detailed photographs, highlights many freight cars photographed in the mid-to-late 1930s in southern California. They are particularly useful to modelers as they contain many close-up views that were photographed for the purpose of making models, and thus are a fantastic aid in detailing models. In addition to the quality of the coverage, the photos are complemented by captions written by Ted Culotta that provide a wealth of information about the prototypes covered in the book. Volume Eight highlights the refrigerator cars of the Union Refrigerator Transit, General American (GARX), Northern Pacific, Fruit Growers Express, Western Fruit Express, North American, and Swift. 104 pages. $46.00
