The authors of Motive Power of the Union Pacific are life-long students of railroading. Besides their extreme interest in locomotives in general, the authors have for most of their lifetimes, collected every available document and photograph pertaining to Union Pacific motive power and have spent countless hours of their time studying first-hand, the locomotives of this great transcontinental carrier.
Every type of steam locomotive is covered as well as complete chapters on all the turbines and three classes of diesels - passenger, freight and yard.
