CONFIGURATION AND TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TYPICAL FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVES

Detailed technical information concerning the identification and classification of railway locomotives is presented by photographs and data tables of typical locomotives found throughout the world. A standard method of locomotive classification is described. Illustrations of equipment plans and associated narrative serve to establish the appearance and location of critical components. Start-up and operating controls located in the cab are identified. General operating notes give a brief description of the function of components and the overall means for providing motive power.
