Check out our new series of books Streamliner Creations. There are 25 separate books showing color side elevation drawings of most cars built for the Streamliners between 1936 and 1958. Each book is printed in house on our HP color Lazerjet 4700 to assure the most accurate color hues possible. Both sides of the cars and selected locomotives are shown. Streamlined steam shown to the extent that we have drawings available. Plastic spiral binding, 8 ½ x 11" oblong. Printed on heavy 28# extra white paper. For example of pages, go to the drop down above.

This era, what many remember as the greatest, is the most interesting period of passenger service provided by the private railroads.
