I am aware that Conrail's Mechanical Department issued Locomotive Data books (there are a couple on George Elwood's Fallen Flags site under the Conrail section) and the books essentially describe the roster at that time with model designation, road numbers, number of units in service, horsepower, tractive effort, gearing, fuel capacity, and other features.
I was wondering how often were these books issued? Yearly? Were they issued from 1976 all the way to 1999?
I was also trying to acquire a few copies of these books for myself. Were there a lot of copies in circulation? Would they be easy to find at train shows or on EBAY?
Thanks in advance for any information.
