About

For nearly 150 years the steam locomotive was the workhorse of the world's railroads, but today its evocative sound, its glistening brass and the smell of hot oil have almost disappeared, only to be replaced by the mutter and reek of the diesel and the smooth efficiency of electricity.

This book looks back at the history and fascination of the steam locomotive--the colorful engines of Britain where it all began, the great locomotives which headed such trains as the Orient Express over the European mainland, the huge monsters and great train of North America and the development of steam in Africa, Asia and Australia.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome and some colour images.

Includes loose news article and fine line illustrations.
