Publisher Description: The greatest American steam and diesel locomotives of the 20th century are presented in a landscape format that shows many of the engines in double-page spreads measuring more than two feet in length! Classic steam engines like Union Pacific's giant 4-6-6-4 Challenger and the beautiful Southern Pacific 4-8-4 Northern are depicted chugging past scenic mountains, plains and small towns. In addition, classic diesels from manufacturers like Alco, GE and EMD, as well as the 6,000-horsepower beasts introduced in the mid-1990s, are depicted in liveries representing a variety of 20th century railways. A superbly researched text describes the technical details and capacities of all the locomotives, providing a pragmatic counterpoint to Brian Solomon's stunning photography, much of which benefits from the clarity of medium-format film.
