John H. White The American Railroad Freight Car: From the Wood-Car Era to the Coming of Steel Johns Hopkins University Press 1993

Формат: PDF Страниц: 660 Язык: English Размер: 90 MB
"From the former Curator of Transportation at the Smithsonian Institution. Illustrated with 530 photographs, drawings, and engravings.
Includes plans, diagrams, and detailed specifications for model-builders. 665 oversized pages in a handsomely jacketed hardcover or specially
priced paperback edition In this sequel to his best-selling American Railroad Passenger Car, John White forever changes the freight car's
lowly image. Including hundreds of historical photographs and detailed blueprints, The American Railroad Freight Car establishes the sophistication
and expertise that marked the development of freight cars in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Along with an overview of freight
transportation's historical importance, White offers detailed accounts of technological developments and examines lesser known aspects of
everyday freight service such as yard management, train operations, and the origins of the interchange system."

John H. White Jr. Early American Locomotives Dover Publications 1972

Формат: PDF Размер: 22 MB Язык: English Страниц: 155
"Альбом содержит 147 высококачественных гравюр и схем американских паровозов раннего периода развития локомотивостроения.
Beautiful, detailed contemporary engravings, widely researched sources. Mostly American domestic engines. Many types: grasshoppers, camel-backs, Moguls, Forneys, plus some famous ones??the General, Reuben Wells, Pennsylvania, more. Best source for a spectacular engine. In this pictorial collection, each illustration catalogues a high point in the continuous developement of the train engine between the year 1804 and the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. In many ways, these pictures tell the story of the locomotive more dramatically than any copiously written history."

А по американским ранним пассажирам что-нибудь попадалось? Наша Николаевская дорога построена американцами по их проектам подвижного состава.

Разумеется существуют, как же они без этого.
Существует двухтомнтик того же самого John H. White, кстати говоря, он был куратором транспортного раздела Смитсонианы, который так и называется The American Railroad Passenger Car. Всего более 700 страниц большого формата. Плюс огромоное количество самых разных отдельных книг и брошюрок...
В электронном виде мне лично пока не попадалась. Я много лет точил на нее зубы, но оба том продавались под сотню, что несколько выходило за бюджет моей семьи. Но за последние годы цена на них несколько упала и стало возможным укупить за 25-30 вечнозеленых...

Great Western Steam Revival Brian Sharpe Mortons Books 2017

Страниц: 132 Язык: English Формат: True PDF Размер: 97 MB
"Brunswick green locomotives, with polished brass and copper, hauling chocolate and cream coaches on holiday expresses including the ‘Cornish Riviera Express’; Paddington, Bristol Temple Meads, Swindon works, Box tunnel, the Devon banks, pannier tanks, auto trains, slip coaches, the Severn Tunnel; this is what we associate with perhaps the most distinctive of Britain’s ‘Big Four’ railway companies in the 1923-48 period. Uniquely among the ‘Big Four’, the Great Western retained its name after the 1923 Grouping, and little changed except that the company grew rather bigger with the inclusion of many independent lines, mostly in the South Wales valleys. A total of 161 GWR steam engines survive in preservation, the number swelled dramatically by many rescued from Barry scrapyard, although many of these remain unrestored, and many probably never will be. The total number of engines surviving is a movable feast as new engines are being built, but sometimes at the expense of others which are being dismantled for spares, and to all intents and purposes must now be considered as scrapped. However, some ‘scrapped’ engines have seen remarkable revivals. The Great Western steam revival is a fascinating saga; this is the story of those 161 engines, and of the people who restored, maintain and operate them."

Tony Reevy, Pablo Delano Railroads Past and Present: The Railroad Photography of Jack Delano Indiana University Press 2015

Страниц: 237 Язык: English Формат: True PDF Размер: 38 MB
"Born in the Ukraine, photographer Jack Delano moved to the United States in 1923. After graduating from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1937, Delano worked for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI) as a photographer. Best known for his work for the Office of War Information during 1940-1943, Jack Delano captured the face of American railroading in a series of stunning photographs. His images, especially his portraits of railroad workers, are a vibrant and telling portrait of industrial life during one of the most important periods in American history. This remarkable collection features Delano's photographs of railroad operations and workers taken for the OWI in the winter of 1942/43 and during a cross-country journey on the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway, plus an extensive selection of his groundbreaking color images. The introduction provides the most complete summary of Delano's life published to date. Both railroad and photography enthusiasts will treasure this worthy tribute to one of the great photographers of the thirties and forties."

Mary Elting All Aboard! The Railroad Trains That Built America Four Winds Press 1969

Формат: PDF Страниц: 134 Язык: English Размер: 14.5 MB
"In words and pictures, All Aboard! traces the history of America's trains all the way from the very first experimental engine to today's enormous diesels and the jet-powered trains of the future. There are chapters about the earliest trains and the problems that had to be solved to make them safe to ride . . . about the terrible dangers faced by the railroad builders as they blasted their way through mountains and built bridges across great rivers . . . about the famous transcontinental track-laying race between crews of the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific, who drove themselves night and day until they finally met and hammered in the historic Golden Spike at Promontory, Utah, on May 10, 1869."

Всем доброго времени суток. Хотелось бы поблагодарить за столь разнообразный и интересный материал по Ж/Д США(интересуюсь данной темой). С моей стороны, может кому будет интересно тоже, на мой взгляд, полезная книга на русском языке, вроде как тут ее еще не было.
