内容简介

Complete rosters and data on CandO's transition to diesel power and experience with first and second generation diesel locomotives, through the CandO/BandO era up to Chessie System. CandO, the ultimate steam railway, opted for diesels saying they were a stopgap measure until a Coal-Fired Turbine could be developed, but seeing the economics, the company quickly embraced diesel power and forgot steam. This is the most complete story yet on this fascinating subject, illustrated with great color photography, plus black and white images. Includes painting and letter data. Ideal for railfans, CandO enthusiasts and modelers.
