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.

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

An Exclusive Reprint of the 1948 Edition
For more than a century, iron and wood have intertwined to help build the backbone of this country. Just as wooden crossties supported the explosion of tracks across North America, the railroads provided the foundation for the lumber industry’s growth in its heyday. The NMRA commemorates this proud heritage with its exclusive reprint of Lumber: Manufacture, Conditioning, Grading, Distribution and Use.
Out of print since 1948, the NMRA is offering this time-honored classic originally published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc, and written by Nelson Courtland Brown, former Professor of Forest Utilization at the New York College of Forestry at Syracuse University. Lumber is the companion volume to Ralph Clement Bryant’s Logging, and features:
• A 344-page, 6”x9” hardcover with dust jacket
• NEW foreword by Bob Brown, editor and publisher of Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette
• Dozens of original B&W photos and illustrations
• 11 chapters covering topics of lumber industry history and economics, efficient methods of production, inspecting & grading, pricing & merchandising, transporting & exporting, and more
