Canadian National Railways Diesel Locomotives. From Steam's Final Decade to Privatization / Volume Two. The Road Switcher (2014)

unapi

Published in cooperation with the Canada Science and Technology Museum, this second volume of CNRHA's award-winning study of the Canadian National system's dieselization is dedicated to the road-switcher, equally at home on mainline or branchline freight or passenger trains, and even in yard switching. Chapters are devoted to first- and second-generation road-switcher models, modern wide-nose and cowl-bodied models, CN's Newfoundland narrow-gauge operation, latter-day remanufactured locomotives, and leased power and secondhand acquisitions. More than 375 black-and-white and colour photographs, covering CN and its U.S. subsidiaries.
