New. Hardcover with dust jacket 256 pages 9 x 11 in. color photographs and roster information. The American Locomotive Company Alco had a long history of manufacturing steam and diesel locomotives in America Canada and around the globe through subsidiaries or licensees. Alco had developed a strong reputation in the 1940s and 1950s with its successful road switchers but as railroads competed to carry more tonnage at faster speeds the market demanded more horsepower. The "Century" series was introduced in 1963 remaining in production until Alco closed its famed Schenectady N.Y. plant to domestic production in 1969. The Century name celebrated the corporate history of Alco and its predecessors manufacturing locomotives for 100-plus years. The product of decades of research by Tom Carver and edited and designed by Dale Sanders this new book contains more than 300 beautifully reproduced color images representing some of the best selections from a number of railroad photographers and historical archives.

The Southern Railway
New. White River Productions hardcover with dust jacket 256 pages 12 x 9 x.75 in. 380 color photographs 12 detailed maps index. By Ronald C. Flanary Scott D. Lindsey David P. Oroszi. Beautiful Southern Green and Cream cab units high-hood second-generation diesel units lush green scenery bright red cabooses well-maintained track massive bridges and trestles and division maps - the Southern Railway is well illustrated in this White River Productions title. There was a time particularly during the 1970s when virtually every railroad enthusiast was in some manner a Southern Railway fan. The cause for such notoriety was the Southern's long-running steam excursions a program that began in 1966 and was eventually discontinued by successor Norfolk Southern in 1994. As spectacular and successful as the steam program was it did not adequately touch on the extraordinary success of the Southern as a railroad system. The company that gave a "Green Light to Innovations" was always at the forefront of the US railroad industry by virtually any metric one could use. Rather than being remembered for its grand green and gold-striped Ps-4 Pacific types Saluda Grade or the streamlined Southerner of 1941 it was the "modern" Southern that commanded respect. Southern was an early convert to diesel-electric traction. The company's management led the way into the 1960s with remote mid-train helper locomotives mechanized track gangs welded rail and a fleet of specialized freight cars to handle all types of commodities and finished goods. There was also one of the earliest computer-driven car location systems a virtually spotless safety record and ground-breaking regulatory accomplishments that proved to be precursors to today's largely unregulated industry. Today's railroad industry is now largely free from the archaic constraints that kept it from being fully competitive with other forms of transportation thanks in large part to Southern's innovations. This book the combined efforts of 75 photographers plus input from some of the leading historians of the railroad that "Served the South" is a division-by-division visual tour of the work-a-day Southern. This 256-page volume with 380 outstanding color images and 12 detailed maps is the most comprehensive visual history of the modern Southern ever published. Chapter introductions provide context to better understand each geographic region's traffic base its lines and terminals and of course its trains. It's all here as well from first class freights with nearly 200 cars and mid-train power plus the Southern Crescent on down to the most lowly of yard switchers local freights and mine runs. And of note is the foreword written by Wick Moorman who started his distinguished railroad career with the Southern Railway. Contents:.

Timber Titans: Baldwin's Articulated Logging Locomotives
New. Hardcover with jacket 256 pages standard horizontal format B&W and Color photographs and illustrations. Roster data. Thirty years in the making this new hardcover publication tells the complete story of these fascinating logging locomotives. Presented in construction number order the articulated engines are covered individually in great detail with statistics and full histories that document each locomotive from the day it left Baldwin's sprawling Eddystone Pennsylvania factory to its ultimate disposition. Between 1909 and 1937 the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia Pennsylvania produced 44 specialized locomotives that were either built for or later transitioned to the rigors of hauling raw logs on railroads where the grades were steep and the curves many. While all of these locomotives were built as articulated they varied greatly in design and appearance. Most were built as compound articulateds Mallets but two companies Weyerhaeuser Timber Company and the Uintah Railway received simple articulateds. Water carrying methods were also wide-ranging. While most were built as tank locomotives others were equipped with a separate tender. Furthering the variations from as-built configurations several of the tank locomotives were later converted by removing the side or semi-saddle tanks and adding a conventional tender. While most of the logging articulateds toiled away in relative obscurity several gained acclaim for their well-traveled longevity. Remarkably ten of the locomotives have survived and several of those remain active over a century after their construction. Beyond the exhaustively researched text Timber Titans: Baldwin's Articulated Logging Locomotives features 455 Black and White and Color photographs that have been painstakingly restored to their original appearance. All have been reproduced in high resolution with many presented full-page. Additionally two full-color drawings four three-dimensional renderings and an original oil painting for the cover were all commissioned specifically for this 256-page volume. Table of Contents: A Titan Tale page 6 Marketing Department page 14 The Competition page 16 Exported Cousins page 18 The Timber Titans page 20 Mechanical Minutia page 240 Paint and Style page 248 Titan Tabulation page 250 Titan Territory page 256.
