Quoth Eastside: "Link, O. W., photographs. Tim Hensley, text. 1987. Steam Steel & Stars. Harry N. Abrahams. Inc. An excellent coffee table book of Link’s best pictures of N&W steam. I really regret not having bought any of his prints when I had the chance." There's another Link book out that's better than SS&S. It's called "The Last Steam Railroad in North America". More photos, better text, same size as SS&S. Also, if you're interested in great photos of N&W steam, get "The N&W as I Knew It". It's another coffee table book of B&W photos by August A. Thieme, who started out taking photos about 1939. Thieme worked from Norfolk west to about Northfork on the Pocahontas Division; did the Abingdon Branch and the Shenandoah Division. Drury's "Guide to North American Steam Locomotives" is a superb reference. It's the same size as all the other Kalmbach railroad reference books. For a non-railroader, Drury is extremely knowledgable about railroad subjects (he's the only guy I know who can rival the late John Armstrong in this respect) and is an excellent writer; he has no trouble explaining stuff in the most readable manner.
