Useful & informative

Very good book on the development of locomotives in the 19th century. Loaded with diagrams and pictures to go along good explanation of how a loco is put together and what the parts do.

White on the American Locomotive

The usual superb and scholarly effort we know and love from Mr. White, yet readable and benefiting from his enormous access to the best pictures.
