Diesels West The Evolution Of Power On The Burlington By David Morgan Dust Jacke
Diesels West The Evolution Of Power On The Burlington By David Morgan Dust Jacket 1963 164 pages
DIESELS WEST! traces the life history of modern motive power on one railroad-the 11,000-milc system known as the Burlington Lines.
This is a story which started with the little wood-burners of the 1850's . . . rolled on through the pioneering clays of the Iron Ilene and the winning of the West .. . and roared into the saga of the mightiest steam locomotives of them all. This story continues with the development of the first internal-combustion rail cars .. . and the dawn of a new era with the introduction of the Pioneer Zephyr, the first diesel-powered streamlined train. And the epic of DIESELS WEST! is still going on, of course, with the coming of the husky GP3O's, the locomotives shown on the front jacket of this book and on the diagrams which face this flap.
DIESELS WEST! is an interesting story of a major technological change on one railroad-a change which opened a new era through- out the industry around the world.
