The Age of Steam: The Locomotives, the Railroads, and Their Legacy - Hardcover
The power and romance of the age of steam are captured in this vividly illustrated chronicle of the steam trains and railways that forged a new era in transportation from 1830 onward. Presenting the first opportunity for long-distance travel powered by machines, the emergence of the train had an unprecedented influence on the development of industry, social history, emigration, leisure patterns, and military history. The steam locomotive was, in short, an engine for change whose impact around the world was both profound and indelible. Written by well-known author John Westwood, this handsome volume features over 250 full-color and historic sepia photographs.
