"Let the country but make the railroads, and the railroads will make the country." — Edward Pease During the mid-1800s, American railroads became the lifeblood of new communities in the West and brought new ways of life and means of commerce to rural communities. Railroads became the shining thread that tied together the tapestry of American life into a land of plenty. The Illustrated Dictionary of North American Locomotives explores the story of railroads and their motive power. Giant beasts of iron and steel once roamed the land. Their descendants still race across the country. This book charts the progress of motive power on America's railroads from 1830 until the present. Its 432 pages illustrate a wide variety of grand and humble locomotives from the steam powered Puffing Billy types of the "Early Days" chapter, to the mighty Allegheny class steamers that were used to haul coal for the American industry in the "Steam in Charge" chapter. Technical specifications are given for each engine type and the book is fully illustrated with both black & white and color photos. The book goes on to show the progress of Diesel Power, including the output of General Electric and General Motors electromotive division (EMD) from the 1920s to the present. Ultimately, the book also explores the Electric Power that powers so many of today's railways.

This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1856, the Dickson Manufacturing Company built steam engines, boilers, hoisting and blowing engines and coal-fired steam locomotives for nearly five decades. The locomotives included 10-wheeled engines for the Santa Fe and 8-wheeled passenger engines for the Delaware and Hudson. While most Dickson engines were standard in terms of engineering, the company was a pioneer in the area of compressed-air locomotives for coal mining. By the time Dickson merged with seven other firms to form the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in 1901, the company had produced 1,334 steam locomotives. The Scranton plant remained operational after the merge, producing 428 light freight, industrial and passenger engines through 1909. In the end however the design of the Dickson shops made it impossible to continue locomotive building. The new, heavy type freight and passenger locomotives simply required more erection space and especially ceiling height in their construction than the Scranton facilities could provide. The former shops for Dickson are still standing, and at least one locomotive serial number 1005, is extant. This book is an exact replica of Dickson's 1885 illustrated catalog, containing information on the company's full line of locomotives at the height of its production. It also contains a brief history of the company and a discussion of its resources and financial disposition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first steam locomotives used on any British railway, worked in industry. The use of new and second hand former main line locomotives, was once a widespread aspect of the railways of Britain. This volume covers many of the once numerous manufacturers who constructed steam locomotives for industry and contractors from the 19th to the mid 20th centuries. David Mather has spent many years researching and collecting photographs across Britain, of most of the different locomotive types that once worked in industry. This book is designed to be both a record of these various manufacturers and a useful guide to those researching and modelling industrial steam.
