A general overview of steam and diesel locomotive terminal facilities on American railroads,. It shows roundhouses, coaling, sanding, and water stations, ready tracks, washers, cinder plants, and other facilities needed to service steam locomotives, many of which were later converted for diesel use. The  second in a series of small books following Steam Locomotive Coaling Stations and Diesel Locomotive Fueling Facilities, published in 2002. This book concentrates on the locomotive terminal that was found in most railroad yards and at division points. It is not exhaustive in treatments by any means; at best it is a representative sampling, because the variety of these facilities is huge.

This book is primarily a photo album of Baltimore &amp; Ohio's steam locomotive fleet from the 1920s through to the end of steam, and includes excellent photos from Leonard Rice and Bruce Fales, as well as others. The photos are divided between exiting action scenes and portraits, making the book appealing to B&amp;O fans of all types and to modelers. Many B&amp;O official mechanical diagrams are reproduced from a 1954 Diagram book, showing the fleet at the very end of its life. The book is intended as a general overview of B&amp;O power in the second quarter of the 20th Century, when it reached its apogee and then declined, supplanted by diesels. Many of the photos have not been published before.
