Few steam locomotives so thoroughly embodied the spirit and character of their owner -- or were so widely respected. In the capable hands of NKP crews, Berkshires carded the weight of the railway's post-Depression solvency squarely on their shoulders. Published to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Berks' retirement, this volume documents the fascinating history of these locomotives, from the dawn of the Super-power era through dieselization and today's museum-line survivors. A huge collection of action photographs and evocative paintings illustrate the Berkshires class by class, and complement rosters, diagrams and engineering records.

An excellent overview of the whole history of the Berkshire locos. A great selection of photos (B&W but a few in color at the end). Not very much about the operation of the NKP, but a good explanation of how the locos were developed over time. Brief details of the changes between sub-types plus order numbers and delivery/disposal dates of each loco. Would not be unhappy if this was my only book about them.
