"An interesting book on a unusual subject."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Turbine Power is a condensed history book of the various turbine-powered locomotives and passenger trains that ran in America. I've given it a 4-star rating for its wide coverage of the subject matter in hand but it lost 1 star for being a bit light on details such as fuel consumption HP/ton miles and overall maintenance cost in comparison to Diesel and Electric powered units from the same era. Overall though, a very readable and enjoyable book, well worth buying.

Description

A bold railroading technology and its fate. Are there any other better words to describe it? Turbine Power by Walter Simpson is a new book that covers steam and gas turbine locomotives and trains, how they functioned, and the technology used from the 1939-2003 era that made them go. This is the first book that brings together information about turbine locomotives and trains that collects all of the various projects in one place. From first prototypes to the most recent proposals, everything is presented with vintage images and references that all railroad fans will enjoy.
