The citation for the book is:

"Norfolk and Western coal cars from 1881 to 1998"
by Andrew Dow
1998
TLC Pub., Lynchburg VA
ISBN: 1883089360
248 p. : ill. ; 29 cm.

There is a used copy at http://www.karensbooks.com for $85

Every now and then one shows up on eBay and they tend to sell for less.

You can also keep an eye on http://www.addall.com (search under the "used 
and out of print" tab) and http://www.bookfinder.com. Both are metasearch 
engines for books. There is some overlap between them but also many unique 
dealers. I would suggest using both "and" and "&" when search N&W stuff.
