This 172-page hardback, full color book, co-authored by Jerry Taylor and
Ray Poteat and published by Indiana Press, is an update on what the
former Clinchfield Railroad has become under today's CSX operations; how
it operates, what it hauls, what customers it serves, and the overall
importance of the heavy-tonnage corridor to its present day owners.
Over three years in the making, the book uses photos, maps, and charts to
illustrate the story, based roughly on the traffic transported over the
line for the entire year of 2005.
Jerry Taylor's railroad experience covered
many levels of management service, from Operating Vice President, Long
Island Railroad, to stints as Trainmaster, Superintendent, and General
Manager on New York Central and Penn Central.
Ray Poteat spent 43 years as an
Agent-operator in the Transportation Department of the Clinchfield
Railroad and its successors, and worked at every station on the line after
1957.
The book retails for $39.95, but order
it from the Carolina Clinchfield Chapter at
