Book Description
"In the quiet Indian summer of 1953, two young journalists set out to rediscover the North American steam locomotive on the even of its retirement. it was the first of severl forays tht would span four years and thousands of miles. For writer David P. Morgan and photographer Philip R. Hastings, the mission was to commit to word and photo a mechanical institution caught in an inevitable farewell performance. Their search for steam yielded both drama and diversity: a work-worn Pennsylvania E6 Atlantic in charge of a bedraggled New Jersey local, an antique New York Central Ten-Wheeler plying the weeds of a southern Ontario branch line, and a triumphant Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-6 No. 1624, reprieve from the scrap line in hand, marching up the New River Gorge with 8000 tons of coal." --From inside of book jacket.

Book Description
"The Railroad Photography of Phil Hastings explores the life and influential work of Dr. Philip R. "Phil" Hastings (1925-1987). Along with his contemporaries, Hastings changed the way we look at the North American railroad. Influenced by the photojournalistic movement that developed during their childhoods, these visionaries expanded their work from traditional locomotive roster and action shots into a holistic view of the railroad environment. Collated by Tony Reevy, The Railroad Photography of Phil Hastings features 140 full-page, black-and-white photographs from throughout Hasting's career and includes an introduction that explores Hastings's life and work, including his relationships with noted author and editor David P. Morgan and photographer Jim Shaughnessy.The Railroad Photography of Phil Hastings represents a major contribution to the historical record of the life and work of this remarkable photographer, whose images shaped how we perceive and experience railroads throughout North America"--

Book Description
Little now remains of the vast network of passenger and freight railroad lines that once crisscrossed much of eastern and midwestern America, but in 1946, the steam locomotive was king. This is a record of a time when traveling out of town meant, for most Americans, taking the train.
