| Zusammenfassung: | "Explores the history and evolution of the FT, the train that put an end to steam locomotives in the US. Wallace Abbey is an almost legendary figure in the world of railroad and train photography. Features more than 140 photos from Abbey's collection which are either previously unpublished or rarely seen of the FT."-- As war loomed in 1939, American railroads were on the precipice of transformation. The FT was a diesel-electric, semi-streamlined frreight engine that would establish a new standard for reliability, flexibility, and cost. Abbey explores the history and evolution of the FT, the train that put an end to steam locomotives in the US. He shows how the Santa Fe Railway had to throw its conservative mechanical traditions aside to bet big on the diesel. Abbey's book features photos from his collection, which are either previously unpublished or rarely seen of the FT. - adapted from jacket |
