The new book on Chattanooga area railroads being published by Chattanoogan.com had an unexpected delay and will now be out around Oct. 20, author John Wilson said.
Railroads In and Around Chattanooga, with many photos by Chattanoogan.com photographer Wes Schultz, will have 568 pages and 1,546 photos and maps.
It will be in the same softcover, 11 1/2 x 8 format as the book on the Stokes photo collection.
Pre-orders of the new railroad book are still being taken. To reserve a copy of the book that will be mailed to you when it comes off the presses, send $45 (includes tax, postage and handling) to
