A new release in MBI Publishing's Railroad Color History series is the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railway. Noted railfan and author John Leopard takes us on a tour of this famous iron ore hauler. Beginning with a brief look back at its late-nineteenth-century origins in the Duluth & Iron Range and Duluth, Missabe & Northern railroads, this book concentrates on the period from 1937--when those two roads merged under U.S. Steel--to the present. You'll take a look at the road's legendary steam power including the 2-8-8-4 "Yellowstones" as well as at the switch to diesel power in the 50s. Modern-day operations and history are also covered. Hardcover, 8-1/4 x 10-5/8", 160 pages - 125 color, 75 black-and-white.
