This is the complete interesting story of the Reading
Company RS-4 and RS-4b class diesel-electric locomotives. Never before has
the entire story of why, when and how these marvels of engineering, for their
time, joined the railroad's roster.
Book begins with the "why" and the test runs of FM Train Master
TM-1 and TM-2 demonstrators working on the Reading system. Book then
dwells into how and where the Train Masters were used in both freight and passenger service.
The unfortunately events that took these mighty beasts of service at
such a young age is also well documented. One of the most unique items
found within the book are the reproductions of the cab Shop Maintenance Cards for each
and every Train Master the Reading owned.
These cards provide a portal into the realm of FM Train Master
operations never even discussed before. Every time one of these giants was
serviced a notation was made on the cab card. The notation will tell
you when, what and how long the service took.
Book concludes with the personal memories of the Train Masters being serviced
at the Reading Locomotive Shops by Reading Company electrician William Cauff,
Jr. This section features color
illustrations taken by Mr. Cauff, Jr. and others.
Book
details the complete history of the Reading Railroad's Fairbanks-Morse Train
Master diesel-electric locomotives.
There are locomotive
diagrams and plenty of technical data.
Train Masters were a unique looking and sounding machine and this book does justice to the Reading's units.
