This extensive history is illustrated with over 400 photos, blueprints, drawings, and technical data. A dedicated section covers the major railroad tugboat designs on the east coast, interior layouts and components, construction methods, and different engine and propulsion types. Railroad tugboat operations were unique, and the designs of these boats were specific to the needs of the railroads they served.
