New Book of Colorized Rail Photos Now Available!
New book! The Very Best of Colorized Railroad Photography, by Marvin Clemons and Tom Alderman, has just arrived. This beautifully printed, landscape-format hardcover volume has taken truly "the very best" black & white images of noted southeastern photographers such as Wiley Bryan, Hugh Comer, Parker Lamb, David Salter, and Richard Sharpless among others and turned them into brilliant color renditions thanks to Alderman's "pseudochrome" colorization skills. Focusing on the late steam and early diesel years, the book features ACL, Seaboard, Central of Georgia, L&N, Southern, and other railroads around the region during the heyday of colorful paint schemes. Each photo is accompanied by a detailed caption providing historical context. There is also a step-by-step explanation of the digital colorization process.
Marvin Clemons is a well-known southeastern railroad historian and author (including Birmingham Rails: The Last Golden Era, co-authored with Lyle Key), and we've often featured Tom Alderman's color artistry in Lines South and our calendars. Published 2024 by Birmingham Rails, this 144-page volume is complete with dust jacket. Order yours now - $65 plus shipping, catalog BK-97.
