Internet Site with Diesel Dimensions?

I can't seem to find a site that has the physical dimensions of all, or most, diesel locomotives.
I had a copy of Early Diesels Spotters Guide (or something like that), but lost it.
Does anyone know of such a site?
Thanks
Jim

PB-1: 63'-6"
FA-2: 53'-6"
FB-2: 52'-8"
RS-1: 54'-11 3/4"
RS-3: 55'-11 3/4"
S-1, S-2, S-3, S-4: 45'-5 3/4"
RF-16: 54'-8"
RF-16 (B-unit): 53'-2"
RT-624: 74'-0"
AS-16: 58'-0"
AS-416: 58'-0"
AS-616: 58'-0"
F7A: 50'-8"
F7B: 50'-0"
E8A: 70'-3"
E8B: 70'-0"
FP7A: 54'-8"
SW7: 44'-5"
LS800: 45'-7"
LS1200: 57'-0"
H20-44: 51'-0"
H20-66: 52'-8"
CF16-4, CF20-4, CF24-4: 56'-6"
CPA24-5: 56'-6 1/2"
CPB24-5: 56'-6 1/2"
H12-44: 48'-10"
H16-44: 54"-0"
H16-64, H16-66: 55'-8"
44-Ton: 33'-5"

This book also has complete dimensions for all the above types, so if you have any questions, ask away.

My site, www.geocities.com/guilford_350 , lists the lengths and heights of most locomotives.
