Gene Huddleston’s Chesapeake & Ohio: His Color Photography
Some years ago, C&OHS did a special book of Gene Huddleston’s Black-&-White photos. We are now publishing some of his best color images for the first time! Gene got his 35mm camera in 1957. We have selected a group of about 300 of his color slide images and placed them in this book.
Section I deals with the years 1957-1975 roughly and comprises about 4/5ths of the book. Section II displays some of his later 1975-1990s photography.
Gene is recognized as the premier photographer/historian of C&O in the post- WWII era up until his death in 2011. His C&O pictures have appeared in scores of books, but few of his color images have been printed into book form. Morning Sun Publishing did some of his color work about 15 years ago. This book seeks to correct and supplement that. Though Gene did not begin color until after the end of steam, his early diesel photos are important, as is the fact that he visited locales that were not frequented by other railfans of the later era.
The book is printed on 100-pound paper to the highest standards. The photos are arranged in east-to-west order from Virginia to West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Background text tellssomething about each area and era.
300 color photos, Hardbound, 144 pages
