Synopsis
The Illustrated Directory of North American Locomotives charts the American railroad and locomotives grand and small from 1830 to present., "Let the country but make the railroads, and the railroads will make the country." -- Edward Pease During the mid-1800's, American railroads became the lifeblood of new communities in the West and brought new ways of life and means of commerce to rural communities. Railroads became the shining thread that tied together the tapestry of American life into a land of plenty. The Illustrated Dictionary of North American Locomotives explores the story of railroads and their motive power. Giant beasts of iron and steel once roamed the land. Their descendents still race across the country. The Illustrated Directory of North American Locomotives charts the progress of motive power on America's railroads from 1830 until the present. Its 432 pages illustrate a wide variety of grand and humble locomotives from the steam powered Puffing Billy types of the "Early Days" chapter, to the mighty Allegheny class steamers that were used to haul coal for the American industry in the "Steam in Charge" chapter. Technical specifications are given for each engine type and the book is fully illustrated with both black & white and color photos. The book goes on to show the progress of Diesel Power, including the output of General Electric and General Motors electromotive division (EMD) from the 1920s to the present. Ultimately, the book also explores the Electric Power that powers so many of today's railways.

    I've probably bought about 20 things or more off of ebay and this was definitely the best experience i have ever had with a seller! It came across the country in a few days with the best packaging I have ever seen! It was in a nice reusable box, wrapped in bubble wrap, wrapped in paper with a "Thank you!" Seal sticker, and then wrapped in plastic! The Cd's condition was exactly as shown in top notch condition the case and cd's themselves. They were well worth the 18 dollars!
