<p>Beautifully done full-color pictorial showing the diesels that Santa Fe acquired between 1960 and 1995. Each class of locomotives, arranged by delivery date, is shown in various paint schemes (including the ill-fated Kodachrome paint scheme, intended for the failed SFSP merger) and with views from both the engineer and fireman's perspective as well as side view, nose, rear and roof line. There is detailed information on the specifications for each class, including manufacturer, type of engine, horsepower, cylinders, pistons, number owned, years built and number series. There is also a narrative describing the history of each class, including dispositions. End papers show map of Albuquerque, NM shops and yard. 191 pages.</p>

Santa Fe Heritage, Vol. 4

Color laminated hardcover, 11x8.5 horizontal format, 192 glossy pages, color images throughout."This book is intended by the Authors to present color images of high quality to illustrate some of the diesel locomotives owned by the Chicago & North Western Railway. "Full color coverage of a system as old and as large as the C&NW is impractical, if not impossible; our first consideration is that the quality of the color image be of high quality, to record the appearance of representative units over the time span when amateur color photography was technically feasible. Thus we have no images from the pre-War period, or even from the late 1940s. What we do offer here are memorable photographs by a number of amateur photographers attracted to the Chicago & North Western by its colorful locomotive roster, in both the literal and the figurative sense."The time span for the photography in this volume is not absolutely marked, as some units appear here for reasons of roster convenience or expediency, but in general, our time limits for this volume are about 1955 at the early end, and 1975 at the later end."We hope the reader will enjoy seeing the Chicago & North Western in its 'colorful' days, through good and bad times, as much as we have enjoyed the experience of bringing it to light."The Authors would like to thank Arthur H. Peterson for use of images from the Krambles-Peterson Archive; Jerry Pinkepank for making available images from his collection; and J. David Ingles for responding to our request for specific images to expand coverage of former Omaha Road and Minneapolis & St. Louis units. All other images are identified and are from the personal collections of the Authors."We also express our gratitude to the Chicago & North Western Historical Society for supplying the condensed roster summary which appears here with their kind permission."

Santa Fe Division Point Yards Engineering Series Volume 2 (ATSF Engineering, 2)

Robert D. Walz

"This book is a condensed survey of diesel powered railroad locomotives from circa 1920 to 1970, including short histories of manufacturers including railroad shops.  Gasoline-engined motive power is included in those instances where diesel power was optional or soon replaced the gas engines. Gas-electric railcars are outside the scope of this book generally, but their diesel powered descendants are covered.  Related developments of alternative power sources, notably gas turbines, are covered where they were projects of diesel builders. Locomotives built primarily for export are not covered systematically unless at least some were sold for service on the North  American Continent. "Production of any diesel-powered locomotive is presented in tabular format for technical and time-frame data. The emphasis in this book throughout is on illustration, some of it in black and white and much in full color,  of the locomotives themselves. These are shown either in standing views or in action, sometimes as both, with informative caption text which contains much of the formidable amount of historical data in the book.  The illustrations are selected carefully, and in themselves constitute a visual survey of the development of the diesel locomotive, overwhelmingly of the diesel-electric but also of hydraulic and mechanical drive formats. "The book  includes an authoritative survey of the repowering programs, i.e. replacement of original diesel engines with newer ones, which were a phenomenon largely of the Fifties and Sixties.  It concludes with an illustrated survey of the principal examples of locomotive trucks, also arranged according to manufacturers, as a necessary feature of the diesel-electric locomotive as it evolved.  There is a glossary and an index, concluding a volume of 480 pages, in large horizontal format the better to present  photographic documentation of the fascinating diesel locomotive in North America."
