The Century Series: A Portrait of Alco Diesel Power
By Tom Carver
The American Locomotive Company (Alco) had a long history of manufacturing steam and diesel locomotives in America, Canada, and around the globe through subsidiaries or licensees. Alco had developed a strong reputation in the 1940s and 1950s with its successful road switchers, but as railroads competed to carry more tonnage at faster speeds, the market demanded more horsepower. The “Century” series was introduced in 1963, remaining in production until Alco closed its famed Schenectady, N.Y., plant to domestic production in 1969. The Century name celebrated the corporate history of Alco and its predecessors manufacturing locomotives for 100-plus years. The product of decades of research by Tom Carver and edited and designed by Dale Sanders, this new book contains more than 300 beautifully reproduced color images, representing some of the best selections from a number of railroad photographers and historical archives. An informative text, paired with detailed photo captions, supports photos and diagrams of each of the ten Century series models. Presented together for the first time in our premium 256-page railroad book format, these images will surely delight aficionados of the second generation of Alco’s diesel locomotives on the railways of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Australia. Showcased in their elements from gritty industrial scenes to beautiful vistas along the rails of their owners, all models from the Century 415 to the Hydraulic 643 are thoughtfully portrayed for each of the 43 original purchasing railroads. 256 pages, Color Photos, Horizontal Hardcover.

W. R. McKeen and Union Pacific Motor Cars
By James L. Ehernberger and Marc A. Entze
During the twentieth century, the Union Pacific Railroad gained worldwide renown for the development and operation of high output locomotives powered by steam, gas-electric, and the internal combustion engine. What is less commonly known is that the railroad embraced the internal combustion engine shortly after the turn of the century—just 36 years after the driving of the Golden Spike—in the form of the gasoline-powered passenger motor car. Although overshadowed by later advance-ments, the passenger motor car, of which many design elements would later be adapted to the railroad’s famous Streamliners, were the inaugural application of internal combustion technology on the Union Pacific. The culmination of decades of research, this liberally-illustrated volume seeks to tell the definitive story of these unique entires to Union Pacific’s nationwide fleet. With multiple maps, illustrations and photographs, many in color will be of great interest to both Union Pacific historians, as well as anyone interested in Union Pacific Motor Car history. 248 pages, Hardcover.
