LAST FEW NEW BOOKSBook has 230 high-quality and hard to find photos of several types of electric rail cars.General Electric and Baldwin-Westinghouse were direct competitors in the sale of electric freight locomotives to the interurban railway industry-an economic segment that was essentially dead and gone by the onset of World War II. Even though the market for these motors was small, rugged construction, reliability and low-mileage operations allowed these locomotives to outlast many of their original owners -- the under-capitalized and poorly constructed interurban electric railways.

As was the case with most non-steam locomotive builders, there was no concept of a model or a class to organize the description of the locomotives. The author has made up his own classification based upon the external physical appearance and not by electrical specifications.There were approximately 190 of these locos built between 1897 and 1937 for interurbans and industrials and even for the Navy. Book includes 230 high-quality and hard to find photos of several different types of electric rail cars with great information on them all.Book is printed on high-quality heavy enamel paper for the crisp b/w photos throughout.Includes numeric production list.
