This book is aimed at both those with existing knowledge of railway electric traction and newcomers who, although having a foundation in mechanics, electrical engineering, and electronics, wish to delve deeper into these disciplines as applied to rail transport. It covers all direct current locomotives, both for hauling trains and shunting, from 1927 to 2010.

- Classification of electric locomotives
- Wheel arrangement
