I am in the process of forwarding a number of locomotive training reference items to the Heritage Rail Alliance (HRA) for their member technical library. At the present time these are mostly electrical training materials, but some mechanical training materials will follow.

The electrical training items include PDF copies of individual electrical system teaching diagrams for several types of EMD and Alco-GE locomotives of the 1940s and 1950s, electrical troubleshooting information sheets, and some of the manufacturers references on reading and using their physical schematic wiring diagrams.

I no longer teach in the industry or the hobby, perhaps these materials will be useful to some others in the future.

Preston,
Thank you for sharing these valuable resources.
