Why I'm late today.

2023-11-16

There's a model train show in nearby Xenia, OH this weekend. If you're a railfan you might want to peruse our selection of train books & classic model railroad magazines. These two looks into railroad history have just been added to our shelves!

11/16/23 Open 6-9p. No open containers, please.

A composite photo of two books arranged side-by-side.

On the left:

THE GREAT YELLOW FLEET – A History of American Railroad Refrigerator Cars.
John H. White.

An illustration of three lines of original-style refrigerated rail cars at a train station, as if viewed from a high trackside tower. Each row of parked trains stretching into the distance.
The cars are all yellow with wood roofs, branded with "Western Pacific," "Pacific Fruit Express," and other official markings. Two workers atop the nearest railcar use long poles with hooks and spikes to maneuver large blocks of ice into a rooftop hatch.

On the right:

The Toledo, Port Clinton and Lakeside Railway by George W. Hilton

A vintage black and white photo of a passenger trolley crossing a wooden railway bridge over a shallow river in a run down industrial area. The remains of an older bridge or dock are visible in the middle of the water to the left of the track. The trolley's approach is viewed from trackside along the riverbank.
