The new editor of the biannual periodical Railroad History, Mark Reutter, has creatively assembled a special issue on the diesel revolution. Most of the contributions originated as presentations to an April 1999 gathering of academics, industry specialists, and enthusiasts, who met at the John W. Barriger III National Railroad Library in St. Louis to consider the "Railroad Revolution: How the Diesel Locomotive Changed America." Understandably, the thirteen essays included in this modest volume offer convincing evidence that the diesel-electric locomotive was the "machine that saved the railroads."
