For anyone intertested in the zenith of steam
railway operation in America, this book is vital.
The style, the photo quality and the content
generally are of a very high order.
As an engineer I found the descriptions of
heavy casting and machining methods
utterly enthralling; to think that, at one time,
this country was world-renowned for heavy
engineering and to see it now is hard to bear.
Seek this book out - as an American might say (and be right!) "Awesome". Uncle Mac.
