Steam Locomotives: Nineteenth Century Engineering

Description:

During the 19th century, railroads changed the way people traveled. They altered the way freight cars of material, from coal to oysters were delivered across countries all over the world. Steam locomotives pulled those trains. Designed and constructed by engineers, those great engines on wheels became symbols of progress and invention of the industrial revolution. Here, in this book are more than 150 illustrations originally drawn for the pages of the best engineering journals and books by railroading scholars of the 19th century. This is a compilation of illustrations, chosen and edited by the author, historical researcher David W. Wooddell to help readers understand the design changes of locomotives through much of the 19th century. Intended for railroad historians, historic rail fans, model railroaders, and others who are interested in the history of locomotives and railroading around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascianting tribute to the age of steam

H.M.E.J. · May 13, 2018

Historian Dave Wooddell has followed his Civil War triumph with yet another fine 19th-century tome....this time illustrated. For anyone who grew up in the age of steam-drawn trains (which I am glad I did), you will find this volume to be a delightful exploration of how technically we harnessed heated water and created the transportation aspect of the industrial revolution. Bravo!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, representative collection.

Good collection of drawings originally published in 19th century engineering journals. Wooddell has organized them into chapters by decade. There is no extensive text, simply captions giving basic information about each locomotive. And index at the back directs the reader to the original publication for each illustration. Locomotives are a mix of European and American designs and are an excellent source for understanding the development of the steam locomotive in its first century.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visually Pleasing!
