Contents: “This is the first history of a world-wide development, from its earliest beginnings to its last days and preservation of a few in the railway equivalent of safari parks. The book traces not only the history of design, construction, and use, but the intriguing story of human involvement with the steam locomotive - of all inventions the one which most seemed to possess a life and spirit of its own.” |
