		Classic Locomotives: Steam and Diesel Power in 700 Photographs

This massive collection of 700 color photographs (comprising the previously published volumes Steam Power, Vintage Diesel Power, and Modern Diesel Power) traces the development of North American locomotives from the early nineteenth century right up to the present, spanning dozens of models from the likes of Alco, Baldwin, Electro-Motive, Fairbanks-Morse, General Electric, and more. Top-notch imagery from dozens of photographers is accompanied by detailed captions from author Brian Solomon that discuss locomotive technology, the roles of specific locomotives in individual railroads, and even the locations and operations depicted in the photographs. Together, this awesome collection stretches from the Baltimore & Ohio's diminutive Tom Thumb steam locomotive - generally considered the starting point of North American locomotive technology - right up to today's high-horsepower "green" models from General Electric and Electro-Motive. The resulting volume, which also reflects the grand geographic and technological breadth of railroading in North America, is the ultimate gathering of great locomotive photographs for casual and hardcore railfans alike.

Brian Solomon is one of today's most accomplished railway historians. He has authored more than thirty books about railroads and locomotive power, and his writing and photography have been featured in the world's top rail publications, including Trains, Railway Age, Passenger Train Journal, and RailNews. He divides his time between Massachusetts and Ireland.

网友对Classic Locomotives: Steam and Diesel Power in 700 Photographs的评论

是一本全采画册，全部是美国的火车照片，照片很清晰，书的印刷质量也很好，值得购买。

可能原始的配图介绍比较少，拿到手一看，基本是本美洲蒸汽火车头的摄影集，文字较少。不是想象中的对火车头的全面介绍

非常好的一本书，图文并茂，内容丰富，把美国火车的发展都囊括了
