This book covers the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad in its last twenty years of “independence" beginning at the startup of Amtrak in 1971 and continuing until the present day under CSX management. Like previous RF&P books, this one includes images of almost every photogenic location along the 110-mile main line along with the locomotive roster and selected freight car equipment while text provides a brief history of the RF&P prior to 1991 and tries to enumerate all the changes made subsequently by CSX.
