He looks at each and every class of SR diesel from beginning to end and fully illustrates them both with roster photos and with action pictures. About 90% of the book consists of excellent photos of trains at various locations across the Southern Railway System with extended, detailed captions, which give much background and history." ~ TLC Publishing
