There really is "something about a train." Over the past century and a half, this amazing invention has become an indelible part of our culture-hauling people and products over great distances, conquering seemingly unconquerable terrain, and making our modern industrial society possible. Although the railroads' role in our daily lives has dramatically changed since the middle of the twentieth century, the last 100 years have produced some of the most extraordinary trains ever to ride the rails. Now, 100 of these remarkable machines, representing each year of the twentieth century, have been assembled for you to enjoy-artfully photographed and accompanied by lively, informative text.
In 100 Trains 100 Years, authors Fredric Winkowski, Frank D. Sullivan, and Richard E. Mancini take you on an exciting excursion along the great railways of North America's past and present. Here you'll visit some of the continent's finest rail museums, tourist lines, and currently operating railroads for an intriguing, close-up look at the twentieth century's great locomotives and rolling stock. More than 200 original, full-color photographs offer you an intimate glimpse of what railroading was then, is now, and may be in the next century.
Your journey begins with the great steam locomotives that helped "close" the North American frontier at the dawn of the new century and concludes with the sleek, high-speed trains that will whisk ds into a new millennium. En route you'll discover fire-belching "iron horses" built by such industry giants as Alco, Baldwin, and Lima, and bearing nicknames like "Mikado," "Pacific," and "Big Boy"; groundbreaking electric locomotives like the indestructible GG-1; the earliest diesel-electrics, destined to eventually put the steam locomotive to pasture; streamlined diesel classics from General Motors' Electromotive Division, including the legendary "E" and "F" series; Alco's landmark road switchers; EMD's "Geeps" and "U-boats" from General Electric; and innovative trains like the Bullet car, the Budd RDC, the French TGV, and many more.
All these amazing trains, along with various and sundry historic rolling stock too numerous to mention here, con be found within these pages, wearing the livery of many of North America's greatest railroads-from the earliest, like the Baltimore & Ohio, to the youngest, such as Amtrak, and so many others in between, among them the Union Pacific, New York Central, Pennsy, Nickel Plate Road, and New Haven. Together they tell the unforgettable story of railroading in the fabulous century now drawing to a close.
