The Steam Locomotive- By Jim Boyd

This 144-page 10 x 10" hardcover looks at the exciting history of these impressive engines. It is lavishly illustrated with vintage black and white images of the original locomotives while they were in regular service, as well as the finest contemporary color photography of the reborn machines. Five chapters cover the early Americans, turn of the century engines, the standard era, super power and the last of the giants. Each locomotive is set in the proper historical perspective, and its place on the developmental ladder is summarized in easily understandable terms. A capsule history of each locomotive's restoration and operation brings the narrative up to date.
