The Steam Locomotive Story

Their whistles called and their smoke left white or black smoky trails wherever they traveled but the big, powerful steam locomotives were once a large part of the landscape in the United States. Although theyâ€™re now part of history, these impressive â€œiron horsesâ€ continue to fascinate us.

This book talks about â€œThe Locomotive Buildersâ€ and the different passenger, freight, dual-service, switcher locomotives plus the really big heavy freight locomotives such as the Decapod, Mallet and the Big Boy.

The latest edition (published February 2014) not only features a new cover but also includes updated information as well as new information on additional locomotive builders.
