American Locomotives A Pictorial Record Of Steam Power 1900-1950
published by Bonanza Books
very good condition with dust jacket

Here is the pictorial history of American railroad motive power as it developed from 1900. From the first Atlantic and Prairie types, fifty years of progress are shown by well over 100 full page plates, together with diagrams and descriptions. The locomotive illustrations have been carefully chosen to show milestones in improved designs and for photogenic interest. Every major railroad is represented.

Pictured are engines of the early years of the century, the first Mallets, the firsts of many new designs, up through the decades to the 500 ton monsters which are gradually being supplanted by diesels. Considering today's trends in motive power, this might well be the swan song of the steam locomotive as most people know it. Here the outstanding representatives in locomotive development over the past half century are gathered together in one volume, a must for anyone interested in railroads.
