Description: Check out our website at DivergingClearProductions.com Illinois Central - Over A Century Along the Mainline Of Mid-America If you’ve ever been looking through a book of railroad photography and thought to yourself “I’d love to have a print of that picture,” then this is for you! This disc combines a book of railroad photography and information with a railroad photography disc. The book is in an electronic PDF, or Adobe Acrobat format. The book can be viewed on any tablet, computer, and even most smart phones. iPads and iPhones will require the free iBooks app to view. From the days of tiny 4-4-0 steam locomotives, through the days of Paducah rebuilt steam and diesel power, through the Illinois Central Gulf era, the “new image” Illinois Central and into today’s Canadian National ownership, the e-book looks at over 100 years of history along the railroad that called itself the “Mainline Of Mid-America.” The book is 476 pages in length, with the first 176 pages being dedicated to photography. 385 photos are featured in this book. Chapters include early views of the railroad, the late steam era, the locomotive terminal of the steam era, the end of steam, the 1960s, the Illinois Central Gulf, the “new image” I.C. of the 1990s, the early C.N. merger era, and the railroad as it is today. Following the photography, additional sections feature locomotive rosters and timetables. The rosters present the locomotives as they were in 1933, 1937, 1955, 1960, 1971, 1989, 2000, and the modern Canadian National roster as of mid-2015. Public timetables include the 1868 official guide, the 1906 official guide, and full timetables from 1937 and 1947. System employee timetables from 1989 and 1999 are also included. Photos included in the e-book are also included on the disc, presented in folders sorted by chapter and organized by page number. Any photo in the book is easy to find. Photos are presented as 200dpi JPEG images, and can easily be printed as an 8x10 for photo albums or framing. Depending on the make and model, some DVD and Blu-Ray players can also play the images on your T.V. The e-book can be opened directly from the disc on your computer and the contents can be saved to your hard drive, tablet or smart phone by dragging and dropping the files. Files can be transferred to an iPad or iPhone through the iTunes application. Considering the amount of photography and information contained within, the retail price of $15.00 is quite a bargain! $15.00 includes shipping and handling. Shipped by priority mail.
