Railroad, Locomotive, and Rolling Stock History References

Locomotive Patents
Over 200 pages detailing over a century and a half of railroad development, through official US Government patent images of steam, diesel, and turbine locomotives. Most patents have at least a three-view of the particular locomotive, while many go into even further detail. 

Many patents are for designs that were actually built, while others are recognizable as leading to production locomotives.There are also some speculative "what-if" type designs listed.
