Introduction

Description

As American industry has grown since WW II, so too have the demands placed by those industries on the nation's railroads. To answer that call, America's two lone locomotive makers - General Electric and GM's Electro-Motive Division - have rolled out a succession of high-powered, six-axle locomotives capable of pulling longer trains farther and at greater speeds. This beautifully photographed book presents the development and service histories of two dozen of the greatest giant diesel locomotives ever conceived.

175 colour and 25 black & white illustrations. Hardback. 160pp
