Power, Performance, and Innovation are the driving factors that have made Progress Rail's EMD brand the premier provider of diesel electric locomotive technology for nearly 90 years. We continue this proud history by producing freight, passenger and road-switching locomotives for use in the U.S. and abroad. 48 pages, 87 black and white photographs, front and rear cover color photographs. This book focuses on PA, C-Liners & FL9 locomotives that operated throughout the 5/5(1).
The hybrid diesel locomotive is an incredible display of power and ingenuity. It combines some great mechanical technology, including a huge, cylinder, two-stroke diesel engine, with some heavy duty electric motors and generators, throwing in a little bit of computer technology for good measure.

The words in the book describe in some detail the different diesel engines that EMD has used over the years to power its locomotives. Details include horsepower ratings, RPM ranges, cylinder bore and stroke and the configurations of such engines as the Winton, thethe and the /5(16).
The book has very good pictures and a lot of information on 'almost' all well-known diesel locomotives. It has sidebars on each model with the basic specifications of each, so it makes it easy to compare the performances and see the progress of development/5(75).
Jeff Wilson's new book, Guide to North American Diesel Locomotives, offers more than pages of detailed information on diesel locomotives produced in North America from the s to essential guide for model railroaders and train enthusiasts, this comprehensive reference book includes: All-time rosters for more than major Diesel locomotives.

The book is a good fit because, like Walter, many engineering students today are not only interested in how diesel-electric locomotives work but also are extremely passionate about energy and energy conservation.” - Bryan Schlake, Instructor, Rail Transportation Engineering, Penn State – Altoona.
36 rows The following is a list of locomotives produced by GE Transportation Systems before its. The book is an excellent primer on diesel locomotives that is well-illustrated with photographs and color-coded drawings of diesels and their parts. However, the underlying theme of the book is locomotive energy efficiency, fuel economy and the Environmental Protection Agency’s emissions standards, leading to Tier 4 compliance.

Uncommon. About VG. Diesel multiple units were first introduced in and became more common in the s and s. Steam locomotives were slowly phased out but were still in limited use in December Steam locomotives.
The following table shows steam locomotives acquired by the Hellenic State Railways between and Steam-diesel hybrid locomotives can use steam generated from a boiler or diesel to power a piston engine.
The Cristiani Compressed Steam System used a diesel engine to power a compressor to drive and recirculate steam produced by a boiler; effectively using steam as the power transmission medium, with the diesel engine being the prime mover [57].

Although diesel locomotives first came to American railroads in the s, their use was confined to switch engines, and later to passenger train locomotives.
It wasn't until that the Electro Motive Division of General Motors (EMD) demonstrated that diesels could practically replace steam locomotives in heavy-duty service. A pioneer freight diesel, model "FT," toured the nation. DIESEL-ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES INTRODUCTION An understanding of the structure of a locomotive mechanically and electrically is essential to a person attempting to perform maintenance and repair services on it.
The reference text on which this subcourse is based is a broad presentation of locomotive structure and a basic outline of maintenance.
The diesel saga is still unfolding, and this title builds on previous works including the author's The Model Railroader's Guide to Diesel Locomotives, published in This, in turn, was a partial successor to the old Diesel Spotter's Guide series.
Diesel Locomotives on Scottish Railways covers most of Scotland from Thurso in the far north to the border with England, from until the present day. The book covers diesel locomotives from Class 20s up to the most powerful Class 70s.
