Cotton Belt Locomotives
No Customer Reviews
Cotton Belt Locomotives documents a proud and independent tradition going back a full century, to the days when the eighteenton "Gov. Hubbard" was first fired up on the ancestral Tyler Tap Railroad in northeastern Texas. More than three hundred photographs, dozens of official diagrams, and four maps illustrate the seventeen chapters. A thorough text briefly delineates the history of the Railway and its antecedents. Individual chapters are presented on passenger motor cars, narrow gauge, all eight-wheel arrangements of standard gauge steam (from 0-6-0 to 4-8-4), and each of the major types of diesel power, bringing to print the entire hundred-year development of the locomotive fleet and the Railway itself. Included is a roster of every steam and diesel locomotive up to 1977 owned by the Cotton Belt and its predecessors. The first and only complete study of the motive power of the Southwest's most successful railway is back in print again! Book jacket.
