TRACKSIDE ON THE P ENNSYLVANIA — V OLUME 1 S TANDARD P LANS OF THE S TANDARD R AILROAD OF THE W ORLD STRUCTURES, B RIDGES, S IGNALS AND S IGNSBY J EFF S CHERB This is a CD book, with fully digitized prototype photos, schematics and diagrams. Easy to Search, Easy to Print. High Quality Images and Plans to model to. The images on this CD are high resolution 300 dpi. The CD version of this 96-page, horizontal-format (10.875"W x 8.375"H) book by Jeff Scherb features redrawn PRR standard plans of trackside structures, bridges & culverts, signals, and signs. ( Note: CD version is 95 pages...last page in printerd version was blank.) Working from original drawings and photos, Jeff recreated these historical drawings using CAD software so they could be compiled into a practical and comprehensive format useful to both the PRR historian and modeler. While many books have extensively examined the motive power and rolling stock of the Pennsylvania, little attention has paid to the plethora of standard equipment found along the side of the track. With this book, historians, and modelers interested in prototypically recreating these features, now have a practical reference guide.
