Steam Railway: British Steam Lives!

More about the book

The steam locomotive was possibly Britain's greatest technological gift to the world. This book is not only a celebration of British world pre-eminence in railway pioneering, but a magnificent record of the surviving working British steam locomotives to be found around the world, lovingly captured in the twilight of their lives by the skilled and patient lens of Colin Garratt. This book breaks new ground for the growing numbers of people interested in the British steam locomotive industry, and demonstrates the tremendous importance of the industry over 150 years, and the significant part it played in the Industrial Revolution.
