YEAR OF DEMONSTRATIONS
A HALF CENTURY OF SERVICE
ALCO’s DL-640 Locomotive
By Christopher MacDermot
And Richard Steinbrenner
Available
for $64.95 + 6.00 Shipping (Domestic)
Beginning with the 1960 demonstration
tours, our book looks back on almost a half-century history
of this often underestimated locomotive
design that managed to sell only 26 units, but:
• Led to several of ALCO’s most successful designs
in the Century Series.
• Despite a nomadic existence, has achieved a remarkable
longevity, led
by 2 units that remain in operation today.
The Authors
• Chris MacDermot chronicles with great insight and
rare wit his year
riding and technically supporting the demonstrator units.
• Dick Steinbrenner documents the migrations of each
of the individual
units during the course of their lifetimes.
• The authors – and railroaders engaged in operation
and maintenance of
the DL-640s – provide a technical analysis of those
factors that
contributed to their longevity.
