Hardcover with dust jacket, 216 pages, standard landscape format 11 x 8.

5 x .75 in., over 330 photographs, maps and diagrams. This long-awaited title lives up to the expectations. The EP&SW along with its parent, Phelps-Dodge Corporation, spurred the growth of Arizona and New Mexico beginning with copper mining and smelting and later coal mining and timber harvesting. The author, Vernon J.

Glover, I consider 'Mr. New Mexico Railroads' as he has collected much information regarding the state over the years. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, copper was a growth industry in the United States. The rapid growth of copper production and the surrounding towns in southeastern Arizona made it clear that wagon freight to and from main line railheads was no longer a sufficient means of transportation - there was a need for more direct rail connections to the eastern markets.

Fruitless discussions with the Southern Pacific led to building the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad, an independent railroad, to El Paso, Texas, financed entirely from cash reserves of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company. In the meantime, the El Paso & Northeastern, a line not affiliated with either railroad, was building northward from El Paso, up through the Territory of New Mexico, creating new towns as it went along the way.

In 1905, the two railroads were joined and their operations merged as rapidly as possible. The EP&SW story is told in three parts: first, the origins of the western part of the system, second, connecting El Paso with the coal mines of Dawson, New Mexico, and third, the merger of the eastern and western lines in 1905 into a unified system.

Throughout its story, strong personalities influenced the activities of the system: James Douglas of the Copper Queen at Bisbee, Arizona, Charles Bishop Eddy and John Arthur Eddy, guiding the EP&NE, Attorney William Ashton Hawkins who, along with Douglas, influenced the merged EP&SW system until its sale to the Southern Pacific in 1924.

5 x 11 in., B&W photographs, illustrations and roster. The El Paso & Southwestern was the largest single corporate acquisition that the Southern Pacific ever made - a century ago, when rail mergers were popular. Even though the EP&SW corporation disappeared in 1924, its steam loco- motives became an active part of the Southern Pacific roster, a few lasting into the 1950s.

Furthermore, the lines of the former EP&SW (from Tucson to El Paso to Tucumcari) were operated with coal fuel, requiring distinctive service facilities and specialized locomotive tenders.While Vernon Glover's El Paso & Southwestern Railroad System explains the history of the railroad from its beginnings until 1924, this new book (effectively a second volume) carries forward the story of EP&SW's steam locomotives taken over by the SP, continuing through their final revenue service in 1959.There's more to the story though: the Southern Pacific chose to continue coal-fired locomotive operation in the former EP&SW territory, converting many of its own 2-10-2 locomotives from oil fuel to coal, then purchasing new coal-fuel 2-8-8-4 locomotives, and finally buying secondhand 2-8-4s from the Boston & Maine in the days before dieselization.With 221 pages and 250 pictures, maps and drawings, this new book takes the EP&SW locomotive story from its earliest days through the SP takeover, comprehensively illustrating the EP&SW fleet as it served the SP for nearly thirty years, all the way to final dieselization and beyond to preservation efforts on the three surviving steam engines.

The story of Southern Pacific steam locomotives is now more nearly complete!

Withers Publishing, softcover, 200 pages, 8.5 x 11 x.5 in., B&W and Color photographs.

At first glance, the General Motors FP7 or FP9 looks like their freight-service counterparts. But on closer examination, the models extra four feet of length can be seen in the space between the first porthole and first louver.

This extra space was used to increase the boiler water capacity for the steam generator, allowing the unit to operate over longer distances, matching the unit's fuel capacity without the need for intermediate water stops.

The locomotives popularity is reflected in its sales numbers - 362 FP7s for 27 customers and 93 FP9s for four customers. Major U.S. owners included Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville & Nashville, Milwaukee Road, Pennsylvania Railroad, and Southern Railway.

North of the border, Canadian National and Canadian Pacific found the models ideal as did Mexican railroad, Nationales de Mexico. One chapter will cover the FP's close relative, the FL9. All owners, as well as secondary owners and operators in North America are covered in this 200 page, softcover book with a varied selection of color and black-and-white photographs.

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 builders 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.

This 124-page softcover book covers these pioneering diesels in text, 110 color and 325 B&W photographs, and drawings in the style you've come to expect from Withers Publishing.

To fill the gap between the 600-horsepower SW1 and the 1,000-horsepower SW7, EMD introduced its 800-horsepower SW8 model in 1950. Over the next four years, General Motors built a total of 366 SW8s for 49 U.S. and nine Canadian customers at both its Electro-Motive Division plant at La Grange, IL and General Motors Diesel Division facility at London, Ontario.

Class 1 carriers received 217 units, short lines and terminal railroads, 97 units, and industrial operators, 52 units. Powered by the same basic 567-series prime mover as that first introduced in 1939, the SW8 carried an eight-cylinder version of the 567B engine.

The car body and equipment layout nearly duplicated its predecessors, but options ordered by customers, and in some cases, added after their delivery, helped to customize the SW8s look. From the optional dynamic brake equipment specified by Lehigh Valley and Southern Pacific, to the distinctive handrail cages by Nickel Plate Road, each owner gave its SW8s a distinctive look.

The focus of this book is on the steam locomotive classes of the Delaware & Hudson that were in common operation during the late 1930s and 1940s. During this time, the D&H went from a coal hauler to a bridge carrier where train speeds were important for connections with other railroads. By 1950, 233 steam locomotives remained on the roster, 182 in freight service, twenty-six in Passenger Service and twenty-five in switching operations.

By 1953, diesel switchers and Road-Switchers had replaced all active steam power. Under Joseph H. Nuelle, ninth president of the D&H, motive power requirements changed. Nuelle ordered from ALCO twenty Challenger 4-6-6-4 locomotives for the bridge traffic. Numbered 1500-1519, they were quickly followed by fifteen, #1520-1534, more in 1942 (page 41).

Under the Nuelle administration, the D&H also ordered fifteen modern dual service 4-8-4s for delivery in 1943 (page 10). These 4-8-4s operated between Oneonta and Rouses Point in either freight or Passenger Service. Rounding out the modern steam locomotive fleet for the D&H were five more 4-6-6-4s, #1535-1539, delivered in 1946 (page 44).

This book does not cover all classes of D&H steam power but is a sampling of the various classes. From 0-6-0 switchers to the 4-6-6-4s 18 classes and sub-classes of D&H steam power is presented.
