About two thousand, seven hundred forty Southern Pacific diesel locomotives are tabulated and discussed in this volume, which addresses the locomotive roster as it developed between the 1930s and 1965. In 1965 Southern Pacific made its one and only attempt to rationalize locomotive numbering on a systemwide basis-consolidating the numbers of locomotives of all three major corporate components (SP, Texas & New Orleans and the Cotton Belt) into one system.
This book documents those locomotives delivered before 1965 and follows them at least up to the renumbering imposed late that year. If a locomotive kept its pre-1965 number, it will be followed out to its final disposition in the pages of this volume.
The diesels of each corporate component are listed and discussed in ascending numerical order-not necessarily chronologically and definitely not by model. Locomotives of the Pacific Lines appear in Chapters Two through Ten; those of the Texas &New Orleans in Chapter Eleven; the Cotton Belt in Chapter Twelve; and those of subsidiaries and associates in Chapter Thirteen. Chapter Fourteen is devoted to renumberings and transfers of diesel units.
Over 200 pages and in very good condition.
