5.0 out of 5 stars
Enhanced with additional technical illustrations and photos,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GM's Geeps: The General Purpose Diesels (Golden Years of Railroading) (Paperback)
An outstanding addition to Kalmbach's acclaimed "Classic Trains" series, GM's Geeps: The General Purpose Diesels is a beautiful, highly recommended photographic tribute to the first generation of bidirectional, accessible, all-purpose diesel locomotives as they plied North American rails from the end of World War II down through the early 1960s. An informative text is enhanced with additional technical illustrations and photos that will enable the dedicated railroad buff to spot the subtle differences between various production models of GP (for General Purpose) engines manufactured from 1949 to late 1963.
