Waukesha, Wisconsin, U.S.A.: Kalmbach Publishing Co, 1991. 4th Edition . Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 320 pages b/w photos - American Shortline Railway Guide is a great help for any train buff. Over 500 short lines are described: history, current status, number of engines (some lines with full listing), cars, as well as address of owner and radio frequencies. I especially liked the many pictures accompanying the text. There is really one drawback only: The book does not contain any maps.

A must-have for US train buffs, especially in conjunction with the Train-Watchers Guide to North American Railroads
