Available On: December 1, 2009

Missouri Pacific Diesel Power covers MoPac's entire diesel fleet from the 1930s to the 1990s including T&P, C&EI, and all subsidiaries. This is a chronicle of the history of the diesel on the Missouri Pacific, its predecessors, and subsidiaries. From the tiniest switcher purchased at the dawn of dieseldom, to the latter-day behemoths employed to move massive tonnage, the Missouri Pacific had a fascinating fleet of diesel power. Sleek E-units and unique baby-faced Baldwins whisked trains across the system. F's and geeps spelled the end of steam, and EMD standardization in turn replaced the early diesel fleet. The T&P and C&EI added interest to the roster as well, adding a number of models to the MoPac fold. The Alton & Southern added a splash of yellow. The MoPac roster was a complex one, with numerous renumberings and strange locomotive transactions throughout this Midwestern road's lifetime. This book presents every diesel locomotive owned by the MoPac, T&P, C&EI, and other subsidiaries. The MoPac flag has fallen. Informative and highly detailed text and unit by unit roster with lots of action and roster views selected from over 130 photographers. Hailed by many as "The Best Diesel Book ever put in print."
