Written with the enthusiastic cooperation of Union Pacific, this book focuses on an active period in which UP was testing and discarding a variety of locomotives. Under the leadership of Frank D. Accord, the mechanical department worked to identify the best locomotives so it could increase motive power, reduce maintenance costs, and provide for more reliability, especially because of the numerous run through agreements it had with other systems. This book captures the last moment for many of these locomotives (as they were not kept) with black and white photos and detailed schematic diagrams as well as technical data. With roster. 208 pages.
