If you are a US railroad steam loco fan, then this is the book for you. It might not include the specifications of each locomotive type (that would have to be a multi-volume work) but it does list in a series of tables all the 20th century steam locomotives of the top 100 US railroads and their constituents. Each chapter starts with a helpful introduction to the railroad's loco development. The book itself has five introductory chapters outlining the overall pattern of loco development in the US including, most usefully, chapters on the various wheel arrangements and loco types, as well as the main loco builders (including the many constituents of Alco).
