PrinceA revised new edition of an encyclopedic study. "For over one hundred years the steam locomotives provided the principal motive power on the Louisville & Nashville RR.

During this period over 2000 different steam engines were owned by the Old Reliable." Thus begins Richard E.

Princes encyclopedic study of the Louisville & Nashville's Steam Locomotives.

First published in 1959 and revised in 1968, this is the crucial book for the Louisville and Nashville Locomotive's many steam fans.

With hundreds of vintage photographs, detailed rosters, and schematic drawings it is an invaluable resource for railroad buffs and historians.

But even casual readers will be swept up in Prince's history of the growth and diversification of the L&N. Richard E. Prince is author of nine railroad books. He attended Georgia School of Technology in Atlanta.

During World War II, he joined the Merchant Marines and sailed on steam Liberty ships.

He worked in several capacities for the L&N Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad.

He is now retired and lives in Omaha, Nebraska. Among his many books are Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and Seaboard Air Line Railway (Indiana University Press).
