Product Description
A new generation of locomotives for a changing world: greener, cleaner, and just as powerful. This book introduces readers to General Electric's Evolution Series, the company’s latest achievement in a long and distinguished history of locomotive design.
At the heart of the Evolution's success is the GEVO 12-cylinder engine, which produces the same horsepower as the old 16-cylinder FDL while using less fuel and reducing emissions.
Today’s most up-to-date railfans will want to read about the development, testing, production, and use of the locomotive that, in its first year of production, has already been ordered by every Class 1 railroad in North America.
Photographs and illustrations document the features and components of the Evolutions operating across the country, and interviews with GE and railroad personnel fill in the details of current operations and plans for what is certain to be the future of American rail.

Excellent Reference Book for Railfans April 23, 2008
This well written book is an excellent reference book that should be a part of every serious railfan's collection. Cover diagrams of the GE Evolution Series locomotives are only the beginning of a wealth of information about the GEVO origin, growth plan, testing, marketing and building of both the AC and DC series. Many great pictures of the locos in great railfan settings. Readers are given a full account of the GE Evolution Series locomotives and their GEVO powerplants. Focus is on the products that meet the EPA's more stringent "Tier 2" emissions regulation. This book also gives a rare view into the GE factory in Erie Pa.
NICE BOOK!!! September 13, 2007
