Withers If all goes according to plan, Conrail will disappear into the Norfolk Southern and CSX Transportation railroad systems in 1998. With new locomotive purchases put on hold, Conrail's current locomotive fleet will probably be its final locomotive fleet. Covering the 1992-1997 period, this book picks up where our Conrail Motive Power 1986-1991 book ended. The carrier's diverse fleet of General Motors and General Electric locomotives is pictured in both action and roster formats. A special section is devoted to in-depth coverage of Conrail's state-of-the-art SD80MAC model. This heavily illustrated 200-page 8.5" x 11" vertical-format hardbound book includes more than 500 color and black-and-white photographs. The cover features a specially commissioned painting by noted railroad artist Mike Pearsall. Includes complete roster information for all locomotives used by the railroad between 1992 and 1997. Price: $48.00 plus $5.00 s&h (PA residents add 6% sales tax). DIESELS OF THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY by Paul K. Withers with Warren L. Calloway & J. Harlen Wilson When it was first published in 1987, Southern: AMotive Power Pictorial 1968-1982quickly sold out and became an eagerly sought­ after book by Southern Railway fans and modelers alike. Now, after 10 years and collecting photos from the southeast's premier railroad photographers, Withers Publishing presents a massive photographic study that covers all of Southern's diesels - from the carrier's first road freight diesel, the FT, and its classic slant-nose passenger diesels, to its final locomotive purchase, GE's B30-7A1s. Southern and its subsidiaries operated a wide variety of makes and models - Alco DL-109s and PAs; Baldwin switchers; Fairbanks-Morse switchers and Train Masters; General Electric 44-, 45-, and 70-ton units; and EMD GP39Xs and GP40Xs - all are covered with a variety of roster and action photographs. This heavily illustrated 384-page 8.5" x 11" vertical-format hardbound book includes more than 1 ,000 photographs. The cover features a specially commissioned painting by noted railroad artist Mike Pearsall. Includes a complete roster listing modifications, retirement dates, dispositions, and specifications for each locomotive operated by Southern and its subsidiaries. Price: $65.00 plus $5.00 s&h (PA residents add 6% sales tax). ....---- 'CD. ® J2.leFrom,.el the latestc:k.

  • Santa Fe Fts Without Drawbars

    Santa Fe Fts Without Drawbars

    Santa Fe FTs From Santa Fe Diesel Locomotive Development, book in work at Signature Press. Perhaps some information I have found in researching Santa Fe Diesel Locomotive Development will be of interest to you. John McCall is a good friend and my mentor, and one of the most reliable authorities on Santa Fe Diesels around. He kindly reviewed the message here and agrees with me. Santa Fe's Early Diesel Daze 1935‐1953, was written long before the Santa Fe files saved by Richard Scholz became available. To answer one basic question: Despite the confusion of seeing photos in other publications of FTs from other railroads, sometimes confused with AT&SF information, I am convinced that All FTs delivered to the Santa Fe were separable and interchangeable units. All, starting with 100 and 100A built in 1940, were equipped at EMD at the Santa Fe's expense with couplers, diaphragms, end doors, end steps and end handrails. At the time of order and delivery, the Santa Fe did not use the "L" designator, that term came later, but since John McCall did so in his landmark publication Santa Fe's Early Diesel Daze, most people follow his lead. For this message I have not done so. In 1938 the FT was conceived by Richard Dillworth at EMC,( in 1941 to be EMD), to be marketed as a single 2700‐hp two segmented locomotive, one 1350‐hp cab equipped segment without batteries and one 1350‐hp booster segment without any cab controls, both segments not designed to work independently of one another and permanently drawbar attached.

In regards to the Huckleberry railroad, can we make multiple bids from the same vendor? For example, we have a 20 ton three foot gauge diesel locomotive that can be ready in very short order. Or, we can create a similar 45 ton locomotive that would take more time and perhaps cost more. A1. In the bid documents it states the alternate bids will be accepted if they are equal to or better.
