| | Northern Pacific Locomotive & Motor Car Diagrams - 1949 | | 58 pages - 1949 - detailed diagrams | | | Northern Pacific Railway Diagram Book Diesel Electric Locomotive - Gas-Electric Motor Cars Inspection Motor Cars | | From EMD F units to St. Louis Car Company Gas-Electric Motor Cars to Ford Inspection Cars - this covers the NP's early non-steam fleet. The cover shows this book was assigned to the Road Foreman at Fargo. The cover is scanned above, one of the diagram pages is scanned below and a part of one diagram is at right. | | This is a photocopy of an original Northern Pacific Railway Diagram Book. Updated to 1949. There are 58 pages here. Not all pages are sequential, a few pages were pulled, as happens with periodic updates. In fact a photocopy of the original update letter that came with this book is included. There are 13 index pages which show which diagrams are included in the book. The diagrams are 8.5 x 11 inches - except 5 F-unit diagrams. They are on 11 x 17 pages which fold out of the book.
The originals were true blueprint white-line diagrams. It is the nature of blueprints, especially older blueprints, that they fade, causing some to be harder to read - and that is true of some of these photocopies. Photocopies are only as good as the originals. The original blueprints have been printed black-line making them as easy to read as possible. Even the pages that have some readability issues are included for historical completeness.
Manufacturers represented are GE, EMC, EMD, Baldwin, ALCo, St. Louis Car Company, Standard Steel Car Company, Fairmont and Ford. From Switchers to F-units to doodlebugs to inspection cars - this is an interesting look at non-steam power on the NP in 1949.
Railfans and rail historians can find a wealth of information here. Trainz and MSTS users, as well as model railroaders, can use these diagrams to make more accurate models of a favorite prototype.
RailfanDepot carries a collection of railroad paper both new and collectible. |
