Sulzer Brothers Limited Advertising Flier, 1934, "Sulzer Diesel Locomotives For Tropical And Subtropical Countries"

01

Artifact Overview

This flier, from Swiss manufacturer Sulzer Brothers, promoted the diesel-electric locomotive's advantages to railroads operating in tropical and subtropical climates. Diesel-electrics used only a small fraction of the water required by steam locomotives -- a distinct benefit in countries like Tunisia, Algeria, and Argentina with their large arid regions.
