Northern Pacific Railway: Supersteam Era, 1925-1945 by Schrenk, Lorenz P.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780870950926.

This book tells the fascinating story of the development of Northern Pacifics most powerful and advanced steam locomotives. Motive power such as the trend-setting 4-8-4s, and the powerful 2-8-8-4 and 4-6-6-4 locomotives. With vast reserves of low-cost coal along its lines, it was only natural the road did not grap onto dieselization immediately. Northern Pacific Diesel Era is a sequal to this volume.
