The mighty iron horse was a fundamental part of everyday life for the hundred years that spanned the second half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries. The arrival of the steam locomotive had heralded a new freedom of movement for both personal travel and business freight. It left in its wake better communications, market opportunities for the manufacturing industries and the possibility of new horizons for people throughout the world. With the help of over 200 illustrations, this book tells the story of the spread of the railways. It details the work of the engineers who developed and promoted the use of steam traction, through the examples of over 100 locomotives. In a tribute to their wonderful feats of ingenuity and technical brilliance, we illustrate the development of the locomotive from the American Type 4-4-0 of 1855 to the British Government's announcement of its modernisation plan in 1955, which sealed the fate of steam in the British Isles. Although steam traction played a major part in the industrial phenomenon that has now been superseded, thankfully many examples have been preserved and even kept in working condition, whether on enthusiasts'

The railway story so far spans 200 years. Many trains and railways have passed into history, others are still making history and more still are yet to make their mark. This is the story of trains and railways - past, present and proposed. What will trains and railways look like 100 years from now? It is evident speed, safety and concern for the environment will be factors in railway development and that the future may be closer than we think. To look forward one must know where they have come from, as Chris McLeod covers the history of rail travel in the UK, USA, Europe and beyond.

The transit historian and author of Under the Sidewalks of New York delivers a lively and authoritative history of New York City’s fabled subway. On the afternoon of October 27, 1904, ordinary New Yorkers descended beneath the sidewalks for the first time to ride the electric-powered trains of the newly inaugurated Interborough Rapid Transit System. More than a century later, the subway has expanded greatly, weaving its way into the fabric of New York’s unique and diverse urban life. In A Century of Subways, transit historian Brian J. Cudahy offers a fascinating tribute to New York’s storied and historic subway system, from its earliest beginnings and many architectural achievements, to the ways it helped shape today’s modern metropolis. Taking a fresh look at one of the marvels of the twentieth century, Cudahy creates a vivid sense of this extraordinary system and the myriad ways the city was transformed once New Yorkers started riding below the ground.
