5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional
A VERY good book. It’s your basic trade paperback;but it’s a reprint of an older manual. This was meant to be a real operation aid for locomotivedrivers/engineers. This covers everything, and is also an entertaining read….You never know. Someday, you might need to power-up & drive aSteam Locomotive, all by yourself. It’s good to be prepared in advance. For that reason; I recommend this book. Be Prepared; I always say…

5.0 out of 5 stars The Manual for the Steam Locomotive
If you have ever wanted to know how a steam locomotive engineer qualifies for his job, then this is the manual for you. This is, in fact, a text written for locomotive examinations. A section on the description of various locomotive parts and operations is presented, followed by the questions and answers necessary to qualify an engineer for written or oral exams. The manual is very detailed, including the specific workings on valve gear (Walschaert, Baker/Pilloid, Southern), superheating, reversing levers, boiler maintenance, air pumps, injectors, road repairs (both locomotive and tender), throttle operation, and brakes (both locomotive and train). The Locomotive Engineman's Manual is a fine text.
4.0 out of 5 stars It really is a Manual
This book is a collection of instructions on different things and pieces of equipment. One article doe snot necessarily follow the one before it. But it is full of information from which you can pick and choose what you are interested in learning about. The book is much larger than I expected so there is lots to choose from.
5.0 out of 5 stars Explains a lot of details about locomotive steam engines missed in other more modern books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the backseat engineer
This is a reprint of a early train engineer manual. It gives very detailed instructions down to the name of the individual valves and steam lines. Its a softcover book that will make your engineer friends very happy as they spend hours learning how to fix and maintain a 2 8 8 2 locomotive.I just gave it as a gift and he has not put the book down for 15min which is a first !

I like to read very informative book very interesting
A good book
I haven't fully read this book yet but from what I have read it seems a most interesting glance at the technical side of American steam locomotives of about 1918. There is at least on place where the duplication process has missed the bottom edge of the page but the book is otherwise very satisfactory.
Excellent text book
An incredible reference text. Anyone who wants to know what was involved to be an engineer or fireman will love this book .An absolute wealth of information in a very simple and readable format with excellent illustrations. Worth the price.
