Karl Zimmermann traces the development of the steam locomotive from the earliest engines, such as the little Tom Thumb, to the "Big Boy," the largest ever built. He details how the locomotives work, how they are classified, why they were vanquished by the diesel, and why those magnificent machines still hold us spellbound. Hardbound, 10 x 11", 48 pages.
