South Platte Press, 2024. Softcover. New. Softcover, 88 pages, 120 Color illustrations. The merger that created Burlington Northern in 1970 and Amtrak's assumption of intercity passenger service in 1971 brought significant change to BN's roster of E-units. This culminated in 1972 with the sale of 21 E-units to the West Suburban Mass Transit District for use in Chicago-Aurora suburban service. Following a rebuilding program, these units provided almost 20 years of reliable service on the Chicago ""race track."" Authored by noted Chicago commuter rail historian Bruce Nelson, this is the story of the last large E-unit fleet in regular service in America.

South Platte Press. Softcover. New. A History of the Presidential F-Units by Bruce C. Nelson. This book details the story of five Chicago & North Western Railway F7 diesel units that saw a wide variety of uses over 40 years of service. Purchased as freight units intended primarily to replace steam power, they were ultimately selected for the prestigious assignment of pulling the C&NW's business cars. Supporters soon nicknamed the units 'Presidential Fs' in recognition of their lofty status. Another name bestowed on them was 'the 400 Club,' stemming from their renumbering to the 400 series in honor of the historic C&NW streamliner known as the '400.' Author Bruce Nelson takes a chronological look at the history of these units, including mechanical details, operational assignments, stories from C&NW employees, and the units' ultimate disposition following retirement in 1989. Contents: Acknowledgements, Prologue, Introduction, pp. 4-10, F Units for Freight Service, pp. 11-14, Passenger Service, pp.… Read More
