Steam at Work

Description

"[A] book that pays tribute to industrial locomotives which are still at work by detailing the manufacturers of these workhorses and the locomotives which they built; identifying their working lives where possible; showing their entry into preservation and paying tribute to those heritage lines which appreciated the value of these unsung heroes of the Industrial Revolution by buying the 'scrap' locomotives then restoring them to working order."--Jacket.;AB: Andrew Barclay Sons & Company -- Ae: Avonside Engine Company -- Bag: W.G.
