I've been thinning out much of the stuff that has accumulated amongst the piles and files over the past 30 years, and ran across this article from 1961 about the history of diesel locomotives in the U.S.

It is in the form of a 16-page article in the March 1961 issue of the British magazine "Diesel Railway Traction." This was scanned from a chemical photocopy of the article that I've had for many, many years. The photocopy was reversed, with white letters on a black background. The file is an 8MB PDF. Here is the direct link:

I've added it to the Locomotive Notes Index Page at UtahRails.net:

A lot of this "thinning out" stems from methodically searching for anything about Bingham Canyon and its railroads, the subject of a soon-to-be available book from Arcadia. I found lots of items that I've been going to do something with, some day. Time to get to work.
