Pennsy Power II Steam, Diesel and Electric Locomotives of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Companion volume Pennsy Power also available separately.
By Alvin F. Staufer and Bert Pennypacker
A comprehensive photographic history of Pennsylvania Railroad motive power, documenting the steam, diesel, and electric locomotives that helped make the PRR one of America's most influential railroads.
Published in 1968 by noted railroad historian Alvin F. Staufer, this large-format hardcover volume contains hundreds of historic photographs, locomotive rosters, technical information, and detailed documentation of Pennsylvania Railroad operations during the final years of the railroad and its transition into the Penn Central era.
Richly illustrated throughout, the book explores locomotive development, equipment classifications, passenger and freight operations, dieselization, electric railroad service, and the technological evolution of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Numerous black-and-white photographs capture steam locomotives, diesel power, and the iconic GG1 electric fleet in service across the PRR system.
An excellent addition to any railroad history library and especially appealing to collectors of Pennsylvania Railroad memorabilia, PRR locomotive photography, steam locomotive history, diesel locomotive development, electric railroad operations, and North American transportation history.
