This is a book from a new series of publications based on manufacturers’ and builders’ catalogs.

All too often the comment is heard that the photo captions in books contain no solid information. Often the reader can gather the same captioned info by looking at the photos themselves.

The new series is called Manufacturers’ Catalog Archive and it provides data and information right from the builders’ own sales and reference literature.

This book reproduces 4 Lima Locomotive Works catalogs:
* Lima Super-Power Steam Locomotives: 1926 - This catalog details the benefits of the Super-Power Steam Locomotive, a look at the tests performed on the engines, the operating results of the Boston & Albany 2-8-4 Berkshires, the Texas & Pacific 2-10-4 Texas Types and the new Illinois Central 2-8-4 then under construction.

* Lima Super-Power Steam Locomotives: 1930- This catalog looks at the use and performance of the Super-Power engines built for the Bosotn & Albany (2-8-4 Berkshires), Texas & Pacific (2-10-4 Texas Types), Illinois Central (2-8-4 Berkshires), Erie (2-8-4 Berkshires), Boston & Maine (2-8-4 Berkshires) and the components used in Super-Power Steam Locomotives.
