The Railroad Scene Author:William D Middleton Dust jacket notes: "William D. Middleton, whose camera work has been familiar to two decades of readers of Trains and other railroading publications, is one for whom the fascination of railroading did not begin or end with the steam locomotive. His THE RAILROAD SCENE then, is a photographic album of the total North American railroading scene - ... more »of locomotives and trains, of railroad people and railroad places - from coast to coast and north of the border, as the sensitive camera of one man has recorded it during these exciting years of change since the end of World War II. From Rutland Pacifics to bullet-nosed Mountains on the Canadian National, from Coast Line's purple E units to Pennsy GGl's, from Northern Pacific doodlebugs to the Coast Daylight in steam, or from Hiawatha beaver tails to a Southern Pacific depot bay at Chatsworth, California, THE RAILROAD SCENE is a memorable look at American railroading at mid-century."« less
