La Vergne, TN, USA: IngramSpark, 2021. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. New/No Jacket. 275mm x 215mm x 20mm. 298 Pages with Colour & Black/White Photos.This is the story of the development of remote-controlled railroad distributed motive power. Distributing locomotive power throughout the length of a long, heavy train and controlling those dispersed locomotives remotely, shares the motive force throughout the train rather than concentrating it all conventionally at the head-end. The technology provides a railroad with the tools to multiply the carrying capacity of trains without adding expensive trackage. With synchronous traction and braking control, the system provides the locomotive engineer with opportunities to handle trains more safely and effectively, especially in mountainous territory. Many railroads have found that it is the only solution to increasing network capacity other than to install duplicate or triplicate trackage. It is important that the history of technological… Read More

California, USA: Signature Press, 2000. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. 290mm x 225mm x 20mm. 200 Pages with Black/White Photo. The Magor Car Corporation, located in northern New Jersey at Clifton, was a significant railcar builder throughout much of the twentieth century. It had its origins in a partnership founded in 1899 by Basil Magor and Robert Wonham, which led in 1902 to a manufacturing operation called the Wonham-Magor Engineering Works. In the first part of the century, Magor concentrated on export railcars, aided by its proximity to the port of New York. Basil's brother, Robert Magor, also became associated with the company, and in 1910 it became the Magor Car Company. It was incorporated in 1917 as the Magor Car Corporation : among its major stockholders was J.P. Morgan. In 1914, Magor's first freight cars for revenue use on an American railroad were built, and such sales grew steadily thereafter, though export cars continued as the company's mainstay for some years.

In 1935 an intense rivalry between the Chicago & North Western, Milwaukee Road and Burlington Route began in the busy Chicago-St. Paul/Minneapolis (Twin Cities) corridor. The competition lasted until 1971. For many years the proud 400's, bold Hiawathas and sleek Twin Zephyrs held the fastest start-to-stop times in the world. Each railroad had its own route, but all three had the same goal: to carry the maximum number of passengers between Chicago and the Twin Cities in the shortest amount of time. Which of these trains was the swiftest? The speed of all three trains was timed frequently, and each of them broke the 100 mph limit almost daily.
