Soon after its introduction in the 1930s, the diesel locomotive began to play a critical role in the industrialization of America. After World War II, diesel power rapidly began to replace steam locomotives in earnest and, for the most part, displaced steam power entirely by 1960. This expansive photographic history examines the development, implementation, and operation of this vital vehicle from the '30s through the 8000-horsepower beasts introduced in the mid-1990s.
