Otto Kuhler was a German American designer, one of the best known industrial designers of the American railroads. According to Trains magazine he stream-styled more locomotives and railroad cars than Cret, Dreyfuss and Loewy combined. His extensive concepts for the modernization of the American railroads had repercussions onto the railways worldwide until today. In addition he was a prolific artist of industrial aesthetics and of the American West in general. This book, illustrated with his drawings, provides a history of American locomotives from the “Best Friend of Charleston” through the “stream-styled” ones he designed.
