MISSOURI PACIFIC'S STEAM TO DIESEL ERA: 1945-1955

Stagner, South Platte Press, SB.

An account of the decade in which the Missouri Pacific Railroad and its International-Great Northern and Gulf Coast Line subsidiaries made the transition from steam to internal combustion motive power. In a year-by-year review, noted steam authority Lloyd E. Stagner examines why and how the Missouri Pacific implemented dieselization along 9,871 miles of track once operated by the carrier across 12 midwestern and southern states.
