About this product

Product Information

This formative period of diesel locomotive evolution is examined with the help of more than 250 modern and period photos depicting passenger, freight, and switching locomotives. Author Brian Solomon covers every prominent manufacturer of the period--including Electro-Motive, Alco, Baldwin, and GE--as well as iconic models like Geeps, E and F units, PAs and FAs, sharknoses, U-boats, and more. The photographs take in the grand geographic and technological breadth of North American railroading and are accompanied by detailed captions identifying the locomotives pictured and explaining their roles in this crucial era of American railroading.

  • Great story with beautiful color photos

    I have recently purchased several locomotive books, and I am enjoying this one the most. This is a book that you can sit down and read through and feel like you have learned about locomotive history and technology, as well as absorbed a lot of the context in which this machines operated. The photos are not the typical tight-framed black-and-white snap usually published. These are well photographed color images that include wide shots of the environment where the locomotive is operating and other rolling stock, as well as tight shots of details of interest. The photo captions are the best part with details of the occasion of the photo and the surroundings and why this occasion is interesting. Well written with few of the typical railroad photo clichés that make other books tedious to read.

  • Great read with excellent photos from different time periods.

    This is a nice easy read. Not for someone looking for great depth but for a fan of American Diesel Locomotives from the early years its a great relaxing read with great photos.
