A few additions added on 8 April 2004, along with a reordering of the publications. Also, trains.com (Kalmbach) has a search index of many different train magazines (more than just theirs). It is very thorough, with page numbers and authors, but it is not complete. RF&P may be searched on that index with this link.

Books

While not a book, per se, the RF&P also commissioned a watercolor for the 150th in 1984, and put together a pamphlet that was titled "A brief Pictoral History of the RF&P"

I've personnaly read (and own) all of the above.
