Mostly photos, almost all in b&w, with many pen and ink drawings. From the forward: The Bible Belt is generally accepted as covering a sweeping, wide arc of the southeastern United States, extending from West Virginia to East Texas. It was in this territory that small steam powered lines lasted so long and so well. Many of these lines served a single industry, mine, quarry, cotton mill, town or sawmill. When this local industry failed, or the lumber and coal played out, these carriers simply up and quit! The few survivors opted for small diesel power, others were absorbed as a branch of a larger railroad, but most were abandoned in favor of highway transportation - or no transportation at all. Chapters include: A Southerner Returns Home; Almost Heaven.Mountain Mother; Just South of Dixie (Maryland); Virginia Creepers.The Old Dominion; Tarheel Travelers (North Carolina); Nothing Could Be Finer (South Carolina); My Old Kentucky Home; Tennessee Waltz; Less Than Carload;
