EMD's SW1500 Diesels; Second Generation Workhorse
By Diesel Era
Following a long progression of end-cab switchers beginning in 1939, EMD’s SW1500 model was introduced at the zenith of switcher production, the 1960s and 1970s. Featuring the builder’s newly introduced 645-series prime mover, the model offered customers a unit that was suitable for yard, local, and even road freight service. During the model’s eight-year production cycle, no distinct construction changes took place, but options specified by the 58 original customers, such as truck style, fuel tank capacity, and handrail placement, divided the production into eight separate groups. 124 Pages, Softcover, 110 Color and 325 B&W Photos and Drawings.

Ex Santa Fe; The Story of a Prairie Regional Central Kansas Rwy 1993-2001
By Sam Andrews
Don't let the hazy, foggy day cover image cause you to not consider adding this title to your library. Inside the book has photographs taken on better days. All photographs inside are in color with good reproduction. In addition to the text and photographs are maps and track schematics, a locomotive roster and timetable information. The rail network across the southern Great Plains was dramatically changed in 1993 by creation of the Central Kansas Railway, a regional formed from 800 miles of branch line trackage previously operated by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway. This book tells about both the CKRY and its "sister" short line, the Kansas Southwestern, the latter created from cast-off Union Pacific branch lines. Together the two companies provided essential freight service to Wichita and many agrarian towns in the surrounding region of Kansas and northern Oklahoma. The combined system was sold to Watco, Inc. in 2001, and operations continue today. Ex-Santa Fe tells how CKRY continued to have a close association with AT&SF following the sale, with details on traffic operations, motive power and facilities. Included are 115 color photographs, along with maps and engine rosters.
