Summary: Diesel loco history thru 1969 in a nice little package
Comment: "Vintage Diesel Locomotives" covers the history of diesels in North America from beginnings in the 1930s through 1969. There are many nice color photos and a few black-and-whites. The text is highly readable and not overly ponderous or technical. All major diesel builders are covered: General Motors/EMD, General Electric, American Locomotive (Alco), Baldwin/Lima-Hamilton, and Fairbanks-Morse (F-M). The chapters I found most interesting were on Alco, Baldwin, and F-M, since those companies are long defunct. My favorite photos are of Alco PAs and Century 855s, Baldwin "babyfaces" and "sharknoses," the F-M H-24-66 ("TrainMaster"), the EMD DDA40X, and GE U50Cs. While not many production figures are given and not every single model is shown, all significant ones are mentioned, and some are shown more than once. The different paint schemes are just as interesting as the engines. Mike Schafer certainly did his homework. For a general overview of early diesels, this is a very nice little book; your money will be well spent on it. --- Paul H!
