Stover [Professor of History, Purdue University, Indiana], fully illustrated with more than 900 color and b/w photographs, maps, paintings, prints, charts, tables, drawings, including specially commissioned artwork and diagrams, extensive listing of facts and figures of the world railways 1825-1977, glossary, index. Hardbound. Fine in acceptable dust jacket. For the first time in one original and comprehensive volume, all the many and varied aspects of the world's railroads, past and present, have been brought together. Since steam locomotives first pulled trains over iron rails more than 200 years ago, the railroads have changed the whole fabric of society and industry more than almost any other innovation. The whole story from before the immortal Best Friend of Charleston to the 185 mph supertrains of the near future - is told in this magnificent book. The technical development of steam, diesel and electric locomotives and the way in which railroads operate are covered in detail with specially commissioned full-color diagrams to ensure ready understanding by the layman. The encyclopedia is a major reference work. The lives of the great pioneers - Matthias W. Baldwin, George Pullman, the Stephensons and many others - are described in the biographies. Comprehensive tables give information including route lengths, gauges, electrification and first lines, on the railroads of the world. Records for motive power, rolling stock and civil engineering, and a glossary of technical terms are among the other important features of this book. Railroads hold a great attraction for enthusiast and layman alike and chapters on preservation, films, architecture and the great trains of the past such as the Twentieth Century Limited show the full fascination of the subject. This book features - Technological and social aspects of railroads past and present; Over 900 illustrations in color and b/w, including specially commissioned artwork and diagrams showing the technical operation of steam, diesel and electric locomotives; The world's ten greatest trains; Biographies of the great men of railroad development; Railroads at war and in films; Railroad preservation today; World records for power, weight, speed, bridges, tunnels and disasters; detailed glossary of technical terms; Index with more than 3,000 entries for easy reference.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Edition. "Symphony in Steam", a book written and photographed in color by Colin D. Garratt, which, while presenting a real encapsulation of the rise, glory and demise of the age of railroading, at the same time, is one of the most romantic books on English railways that I have ever seen. In large part this is because of Mr. Garratt's marvelous photographs, many of which verge on the poetic. Also contributing to the romance is the author's wonderful visual record of locomotives at work, but also his unflinching look at the sad end of so many giant locomotives, as they slowly grind their way into the dark and fire-lit caverns where their magnificent bodies are rendered into parts and metals. A fascinating, fact-filled text accompanies the photographs. TITLE : Symphony in Steam AUTHOR : Colin D. Garratt PHOTOGRAPHS : Colin D. Garratt FOREWORD : O. S.
