| Overview |
The Diesel Shop website could not exist without the locomotive data and news contributions made by more than
675 railfans, locomotive historians, and trackside observers. They are clearly the fuel that powers the website.
And, I extend a sincere thank you to each of them.
Additionally, there are scores of print and electronic media that have made significant contributions to this
website, both directly and indirectly. The Diesel Shop is made possible through their efforts. They are the ones
that collect, assemble, author, and publish the important resources that drive the continued growth of the hobby
and development of an ever expanding knowledge base. The list of important resources is endless; however, an
attempt has been made to identify those sources that are more frequently employed. My thanks and appreciation
goes out to each of them.

correct existing rosters.
