Super Power Tsunami®DCC Decoder


The Southern Pacific


and the KM Hydraulics by Robert J. Zenk


In 1959 the Southern Pacific Railroad found itself in need of higher horsepower diesel locomotives to move their increasing freight traffic across the Sierras.


When American locomotive manufacturers could not meet the SP’s requirements they began looking overseas. In Munich Germany they found that Krauss Maffei might be the answer. KM was producing diesel-hydraulic locomotives rated at 4000 horsepower.


Dust jacket painting by John Winfield


Tis is the story of building these locomotives in Germany and operating them in the United States.
