Zustand: New. Withers Publishing, hardcover with jacket, 232 pages, 8.5 x 11 x.5 in., B&W photographs, color photo sections, steam and diesel locomotive rosters. Kansas City Southern has always been an unusual property, and this book examines some of the qualities that made it so. Its focus is on the period during which KCS was managed by three generations of the same family, a period that might be called the Deramus Era. This book is not a study of management or of financial affairs, but rather of motive power and train operations. The heart of this book is the diesel age, but the age of steam that preceded it (and co-existed with it for 15 years) is covered, too. KCS introduced the streamliner to its service territory, and the premier Southern Belle gets pilot-to-markers coverage. Included is a full steam and a full diesel roster to support the story of KCS's motive power and the trains it pulled - and occasionally pushed - in the Deramus Era. A four-page color section and two pages of photographs of KCS bus and trucking equipment round out this book.
