DESCRIPTION: In Classic Locomotives, 700 photographs and detailed captions comprise a sprawling history of North American steam and diesel-electric locomotives, from Baltimore & Ohio's Tom Thumb to modern high-horsepower diesels. For nearly two centuries, railroads have been crucial to North America's transportation system-perhaps never more so than today. Always at the forefront of this industryhas been a vast array of mighty locomotives in ever-evolving forms, pulling and pushing freight and passenger trains across plains and through mountains.

Top-notch imagery from dozens of photographers is accompanied by detailed captions from author Brian Solomon discussing locomotive technology, the roles of specific locomotives in individual railroads, and even the locations and operations depicted in the photographs.
