Rail Canada Volume 3, by Donald C. Lewis, provides comprehensive data on the paint jobs applied to all Canadian Pacific diesel locomotives. Like the other two books in the series, this one has a series of small diagrams that show the placement of all lettering and striping or color changes on the locomotives. Actual dimensions are specified so the information can be translated easily into any scale.

The book is divided into four major groupings: cab units are first, road freight units are second, road switchers are third, and yard switchers are last. Many of the diagrams also have accompanying photos; a (16 page) full color section in the middle of the book provides some good color references.

The printing quality is good, although some of the photos tend to be a little on the muddy side. This is probably due to to reproducing them from what was originally a color slide.
