Fairbanks-Morse Locomotives in Color

The Fairbanks-Morse company is a well-known producer of opposed-piston diesel engines. Originally used in U.S. Navy submarines, these efficient engines were repurposed for railroad locomotives after the end of World War II. This comprehensive guide compiled by former Railfan and Railroad magazine editor Jim Boyd features more than 250 full-color photographs, each accompanied by a thorough caption. Readers will be guided through every railroad company that either purchased Fairbanks-Morse locomotives, inherited them through mergers, or otherwise operated these unique diesels.
