Nice mix of text and photos. Did not cover all the North American diesel loco's that I would call "vintage," but did a nice job of covering selected models.

Would like to have seen more on the F units as well as pics. This is a good synopsis of vintage units.

Mike Schafer really knows his stuff. All of his books are top-notch.
