The Texas and Pacific Railway: Super Power to Streamliners, 1925-1975
Description:
Fascinating story of the transformation of the Texas & Pacific from 1925 onwards, when it became the first major carrier to embrace the high-horsepower steam locomotives of the Lima Locomotive Co. T&P added another pair of driving wheels, creating the first 2-10-4 wheel arrangement (which was called the Texas type in its honor) -- these 70 locomotives became the T&P trademark for over twenty-five years. In 1953, T&P embraced another form of super-power when it completely dieselized its system with EMD diesel-electric locomotives. The romance and thrill of the Texas types and their accompanying 4-8-2 Mountain types is captured in the photos that cover almost every page. The transition to diesel and the sudden burst of color is also captured with action shots that follow the T&P until the merger into its parent, Missouri-Pacific, in 1976. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos and an 8 page color section. With decorative end papers showing system map. 159 pages with index.
