ON THE BACK COVER
Even the smallest diesel locomotives are huge in every
respect-size, cost, fuel usage-but despite their colossal qualities, they
shrink the cost of much of what we use and help the North American economy
continue to thrive.
Modern Diesel Locomotives provides the history of these
behemoths, as well as full-color photography, locomotive anatomy, and an
up-close and personal look at what it’s like to engineer a train, whether it’s
a hustling SD45-2 or a roaring F40.
Captures locomotives hard at work, moving trains on tracks everywhere from California to Boston, photos of 12 foot long diesel locos being rebuilt, text taht describes how to drive a train, short history of the rise of the diesel, sections on major brands of locomotives.
