DESCRIPTION:
"There's better books however." according to Loconut. Everyone knows that Streamliners are known not for the exterior, but also for their elegant interior! A bit disappointed on the text of this book. Little reference as far as the interior of the coaches. There is only a brief description of the diesel engines of these Santa Fe Streamliners. Nothing much about the E-units or even the First Super Chiefs. If you really like to know more about these Santa Fe Streamli. Santa Fe Passenger Trains in the Streamlined Era D. W. O. Jones I have just purchased my copy from Amazon. This is a wonderful book with more than adequate detail of all aspects of Santa Fe's fabulous and world famous era of streamlined train travel. Great photographs including colour with a shot of the first boxcab in its modified streamliner phase. Thank you Mr Dorin, a great buy at the price. Grab one before they all go!David Jones, Kaiapoi, New Zealand
