Approx. 400 Pages Indexed
Here is the book rail historians and Diesel fans have been waiting for . . . the complete story of Diesel development on one of America's great railroads, the Southern Pacific.
While volumes have been written on the individual types of SP Diesel locomotives, the development of internal-combustion rail equipment on that railroad is, as author John Garmany states in his preface, "An exciting and largely untold epic."
The unique and unusual are also well documented, from the opposed-piston Fairbanks-Morse units to the German-built Krauss Maffei's. The book concludes with a detailed look at the new generation power and the Amtrak era. Finally, an all-time SP Diesel roster is featured, along with a complete index.
