Steam Locomotives: Whistling, Chugging, Smoking Iron Horses of the Past

48 pp. | Boyds | March, 2004 | Trade ISBN 1-59078-165-1 $$19.95
(4) 4-6 An overview recounts the development of the steam locomotive, describes how it was powered, and explains why it was eventually replaced by the diesel. The bland text is accompanied by archival images as well as color photos of steam engines chugging across Africa, Australia, and North and South America. Although the quality of the photos is only average, they effectively capture the appeal of railroading. Websites. Glos., ind.
