A customer review:

“Received my copy today and it really is a great book. The photography is amazing. I particularly like the way the photos are annotated with red numbers and arrows, it takes a lot of the guess work out of it. The whole format is really changed from previous Greenberg books, with the photos an integral part of the text, rather than just text descriptions and then a couple pages of photos. The new format is much clearer in making distinctions between versions. It also obviously entailed a LOT more work. Very nicely done and a great service to the train collecting community.”
