Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Compound Locomotives: A Practical Explanation of the Construction, Operation and Care of the Compound Locomotives in Use on American Railroads As the result of rebuilding the little Baxter engine on the Worcester & Shrewsbury Railroad, about thirty years ago, my father, Henry F. Colvin, became an advocate of the compound locomotive. His suggestions and designs have materially aided in the development of this type of locomotive, and his friendly counsel and criticism have been of great assistance to the author in preparing this work. To him this book is affectionately dedicated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Articulated Compound Locomotives of the American Locomotives Company written by American Locomotive Company. This book was released on 2008-09-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1901 by the merger of eight manufacturers, the American Locomotive Company eventually became the second largest in the United States, behind Baldwin. ALCO built over 75,000 engines, including some of the largest ever constructed, the ¿Big Boy¿ 4-8-8-4s created for the Union Pacific. Originally published in 1908, this 40-page pamphlet is illustrated with photos and diagrams. It includes text written by C.J. Mellin, the Chief Engineer of the Richmond Works and holder of a number of patents related to the articulated compound locomotive. This innovative design spread the locomotive¿s weight across multiple driving wheels of a relatively small diameter. As a result, engines of this type could operate on short-radius curves, while still providing enormous traction power
