Download Berkshires of the Nickel Plate Road Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Few steam locomotives so thoroughly embodied the spirit and character of their owner -- or were so widely respected. In the capable hands of NKP crews, Berkshires carded the weight of the railway's post-Depression solvency squarely on their shoulders. Published to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Berks' retirement, this volume documents the fascinating history of these locomotives, from the dawn of the Super-power era through dieselization and today's museum-line survivors. A huge collection of action photographs and evocative paintings illustrate the Berkshires class by class, and complement rosters, diagrams and engineering records.

Introduced in the 1930s, efficient and adaptable diesel locomotives had all but displaced steam locomotives by 1960. This colorful photographic history examines the development, implementation, and operation of diesel locomotives from the gleaming pioneer Zephyrs of the '30s through today's 8000-horsepower beasts. In the course of examining the dawn and preeminence of diesel power, the author offers a glimpse of America's major railways -- both freight and passenger -- in stunning modern and period color photography. Manufacturers like EMD, Alco and GE are included. The final chapter describes the operation and maintenance of modern diesel locomotives, and an appendix lists where rail fans can see restored examples of early diesels today.
