The Southern Railway Road of the Innovators by Burke Davis(Very Good)-Third Printing 1985(Hardcover)

Davis traces railroad development in the South by a cast of remarkable entrepreneurs and the subsequent creation of the Southern Railway's network from the ruins of those early enterprises. This is also a full account of the many innovations wrought by the Southern's leaders: the first major railroad to convert to diesel power; a pioneer in mechanized maintenance of right-of-way; the use of gigantic box cars to carry bulky cargo; and the operation of coal trains in continuous shuttle.

The book on the top has some discoloration but the pages are in like new condition as pictures show.
