    "
    Apex of the Atlantics
    " was written  and copyrighted in 1963 by Frederick Westing
    and was published by Kalmbach Publishing Co.,
    of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  The author states, "Of course, the Atlantic was the classiest of that myriad of wheel arrangements that transpired in steam after the all-purpose 4-4-0 had run her course.  The Atlantic was a prima donna, really suitable only for the guarantee of extra fares and breaking speed records."  The book is well illustrated and is a great account of the development and operations of the loco.  The pictures above show the
    actual
    front and back of the dust covers, the Contents page and eight other pages.  The book has a hard cover with a dust jacket, measures 7 by 10 by 5/8 inches and is 168 pages long.  It was originally listed on Ebay for .
    Free USPS media-mail shipping and tracking in the U.S. is included.  Ebay now collects sales tax for most states.
