Southern Pacific Diesel Locomotive Compendium, Volume 1: Pre-1965 SP Numbers, T&NO and Cotton Belt Subsidiary Roads - Hardcover
This is a monumental great work that readers of Southern Pacific Historic Diesels have been waiting for! The entire diesel roster of the Southern Pacific and its associates -- number by number in comprehensive, understandable detail. It is illustrated with 160 unpublished photographs covering the entire roster, from little orange Plymouth dinkies to twin-engine, 5000-horsepower diesels. This volume covers all the old numbers before the renumbering of 1965. Every event affecting all the locomotives on the rosters of the SP, T&NO, SSW and subsidiaries up to that date is included here. Further, every locomotive that retained its old number after the 1965 renumbering (1000 series switchers, GE 70-tonners, Baldwin/B-L-H Road-Switchers and all passenger and freight cab and B-units) is followed through in this volume to its final disposition, regardless of how late that occurred. Among other details this book will report for each of 2700 diesel locomotives when a unit was placed in service, builders order number and construction number, specifications and unique SP modifications, date retired and date sold or scrapped and any subsequent owners, if any. Volume 1 includes: Southern Pacific (Pacific Lines) Pre-1965 Numbers; Texas & New Orleans and Cotton Belt; Subsidiary Roads. Vol. 1: Laminated hardbound, 8.5x11, 236 pages, historical text, 160 unpublished b&w photographs with extensive captions, roster information, diagrams, maps, tables, cross-indexes.

Book Description Pictorial Cover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. This work illustrates in depth Southern Pacific's historical diesel locomotives. About 2,740 Southern Pacific diesel locomotives are tabulated and discussed in this volume, which addresses the locomotive roster as it developed between the 1930s and 1965. 1965 was the year that the Southern Pacific made its one and only attempt to rationalize locomotive numbering on a systemwide basis--consolidating the numbrs of locomotives of all three major corporate components (SP, Texas & New Orleans, and the Cotton Belt) into one system. The book contains photographs, illustrations, and charts. This copy is clean and solid. Seller Inventory # 020546
