Of the locomotive books that I have purchased, I really like this one. The price is really good for what you get and there is a good mix of modern GE and EMD locomotives covered here. I was pleasantly surprised by the photos and the narrative. Some of the SP photos are fantastic (U33C and AC4400)! It does not have all the detail that a gear head would desire, such as tables of data on each engine. You could go online for that on Wikipedia or something. But, the book is a very comprehensive cross section of the diesels produced by GE and EMD in the time period from 1966 through 2000.

I bought the book mainly for the photography and I can't say I was disappointed. Write was informative also book was good all the way around.

Beautiful book. Bought this as a gift for a young boy. Lots of photos but also lots of information for when he grows into reading more than picture looking. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys trains.

Trains are the repeat of my childhood, and this book, although 'used', was in excellant condition. I will purchase more from this timely seller!

The book has great photos but, unfortunately, there are no blueprints that could be of great help for model railroaders.
