This 142-page hardcover focuses on the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad's (ACL) passenger operations during the postwar era, roughly from the late 1940s through the decline of private rail passenger service. It combines a readable narrative with extensive visual documentation, drawing heavily from company publicity photos that showcase trains both inside and out, capturing the elegance and operations of the period. The book covers not only the glamorous New York-to-Florida streamliners but also the more mundane local and workaday passenger trains that served the ACL's extensive Southern network.
