Train Master: The Most Useful Locomotive Ever Built

From the start, the Train Master was a curious creation. Coming from the smallest of the serious diesel locomotive builders, it was the most powerful single-engine road-switcher unit in the locomotive market. Its builder, Fairbanks, Morse & Company, intended it to be a universal workhorse, one that, through the use of a skillful advertising campaign, promised to be all things to all railroads.This book covers this locomotive with chapters on the car body phases, the all-time Train Master roster, dispositions and the 'Baby Trainmaster'. Each railroad that owned the Train Master has its own chapter. Also included is a color photo section, diagrams, illustrations of advertising material, bibliography and index. Withers Publishing, soft cover, 112 pages, 8.5 x 11 x .25 in., b&w and color photographs.
