[Review of previous edition:] [This] latest edition is more comprehensive than the 2002 version and features electric engines for the first time. Also new is a larger format that makes the photos more enjoyable., [Review of previous edition:] This new oversize, full color book is the "Diesel Spotter's Guide" on steroids. And it's badly needed.... Each model is described in detail, defining its features and production history. Excellent, large action and roster photos illustrate the subjects, and the full color reproduction is also excellent.... There is no better authority on modern power than Greg McDonnell, and this book is an absolute must for anyone who wants to go out and watch trains today. After you get "Locomotives," you'll WANT to go out and see what's new!", [Review of previous edition:] After spending some time with this book, I've come to see the diesels sand electric locomotives in a different light.... Next time I am waiting at a railroad crossing, I'll be trying to determine if the locomotive is a Super 7B23 or a DASH 8-44CA. That should really impress my passengers!, When it comes to North American locomotives, railroad photojournalist Greg McDonnell is probably the best person to help you tell an ES44AC from an SD70MAC or an SD40. This second edition includes all new locomotives built from 2007 right up to January 2015. With chapters for each manufacturer -- including EMD, GE and Alstom -- each type of loco is covered with build dates, production totals backed up by a very informative narrative. With more than 300 colour photos, the result is a definitive guide for those interested in North American railroading -- and at a bargain price. Christmas Gift Guide., [Review of previous edition:] This is a field guide that is also elegant, so my advice is this: Buy two copies, and toss one in your car, and put the other on one your coffee table., [Review of previous edition:] A transportation photojournalist with 10 volumes under his belt, McDonnell chronicles new locomotive production where Louis Marre's 1995 "Diesel Locomotives: The First 50 Years" leaves off, and updates "The Field Guide to Modern Diesel Locomotives" (2002). He also broadens the conventional coverage by including electric passenger locomotives currently in service on the Northwest Corridor, but does not include the limited number of electric freight locomotives, none of which are operating in North America at the present. Stupendous color photographs, explanatory text, and graphic data are provided for each model., [Review of previous edition:] Diesel spotting seemed to be a whole lot easier back in the mid-1960s when we were kids watching New York Central trains at Town Line in Dearborn.... Of course train watching at Town Line has changed rather dramatically since then and identifying diesels isn't as easy as it once was.... This up-to-date diesel and electric locomotive guide book picks up where Louis A. Marre's book, Diesel Locomotives: The First 50 Years, leaves off. With a few exceptions, all of the latest locomotive offerings that can be found operating in North America are covered in this information-packed volume by noted author Greg McDonnell.... Like the first Diesel Spotters Guide, this book is the best contemporary locomotive reference guide available from any source.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
