In the late 1940s it was readily apparent that steam was quickly being displaced by new diesels on the likes of B&M, CV, MEC, Rutland Railroad, and BAR. John Morrison, George Diamond and several other notable photographers began a systematic quest to record the vanishing breed on color film, the results of which are shown in this book. There's early diesels, too!
