Nope. He did take some colour photos. However, the vast majority of the night
photographs are black and white photographs. I think that you probably
shouldn't go wildly scanning in his images, because people get mad when you go
doing that (and I know, yes, the books are available through the library...).
I own a copy of (somewhat mistitled) "The Last Steam Railroad in America", and
would say put it on a xmas wish list. (it's not my favorite railway book, I
perfer Tal y lyn Railway, by JIC Boyd myself), but it does have some wonderful
photographs.
I say somewhat mistitled, because it most certanly was not even the last all
steam show in the US, I think the honors go to one of the western or southern
logging railways. Here in Canada, the honor goes (probably) to Kirkfield
Quarry, in Ontario.
