Just visited my favorite hobby shop in Des Plaines and picked up "Railroading 
in Downtown Chicago, 1958 - 1969"; Vols 1 & 2 by Robert Olmsted.  Excellent, 
truly excellent photos for modelers of passenger trains!  Lots of high angle 
and overhead shots of E's, F's, Geep's, PA's, etc.  If you are into detailing 
your models, these two books are "must haves"!  They are actually soft cover 
magazine style, about 50 pages each so not too expensive.  They are super sharp 
black and white but the key is the high angles to show lots of details most 
modelers miss.

I can tell you from experience that roof detail shots of locomotives are 
absolutely golden to a builder and these books are a real mother lode.
