Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. VERY GOOD+ No dust jacket as issued. No marks and tight binding, Lightly bumped corners. This 108-page hardcover is a detailed historical account of the Atlantic & Danville Railway (reporting mark AD), a colorful shortline and later Class I railroad that operated primarily in Virginia and parts of North Carolina. Originally built in the late 1880s with significant British capital to haul cotton, lumber, tobacco, and other goods from Southside Virginia farms and industries to deepwater ports, the line ran a main route from the Norfolk/Portsmouth area westward to Danville. It featured narrow-gauge beginnings, a shift to standard gauge, a long lease to the Southern Railway (1899?1949), independent operation, bankruptcy in 1960, and eventual absorption by the Norfolk & Western (later reorganized as the Norfolk, Franklin and Danville Railway). The book covers its full history with photographs, maps, and operational details, making it a valued resource for railroad enthusiasts interested in regional Virginia railroading. This title appeals especially to those fascinated by 19th- and 20th-century Southern shortlines, their economic impact on Piedmont agriculture and manufacturing, and the consolidation trends that shaped modern U.S. railroads.

A Brief History of the Atlantic Coast Line -- 2.) Atlantic Coast Line Steam Locomotives -- 3.) Atlantic Coast Line Diesel Locomotives -- 4.) Passenger Service -- 5.) Passenger Train Equipment -- 6.) Freight Service -- 7.) Freight Train Equipment . . . . . . . Spanning 224 pages with numerous illustrations, the book chronicles the railroad's development from its predecessor lines in the late 19th century through its growth into a major Class I carrier serving the Southeast United States. The ACL, often branded as "The Standard Railroad of the South," played a pivotal role in regional transportation, connecting cities from Virginia to Florida and facilitating agriculture, tourism, and passenger services. Griffin's work, commissioned after the railroad's merger era, details its corporate evolution, operations, governance, and financial history with scholarly depth while remaining accessible to enthusiasts. It stands as a key reference for rail historians, modelers, and those interested in Southern U.S. infrastructure and economic growth in the early-to-mid 20th century. This well-regarded volume emphasizes the ACL's contributions to Florida's development and its eventual integration into larger systems like CSX, making it a valuable resource for understanding American railroad heritage.
