First published in 1907, this work remains the best single source on the development of steam locomotives for those interested in their inner workings and technical specifications. Most of the more recent offerings on the subject are primarily nostalgic picture books celebrating the outward design of the great engines of the past. Sinclair spent half a lifetime operating locomotives before beginning a new career as a railway journalist which brought him in contact with the prime movers of the golden age of railroading. The author's lively story-telling style remains fresh, and the scholarly value of the book has been much enhanced by the inclusion of some 650 notes provided by his editor, who is a Curator of the U.S. National Museum, Smithsonian Institution. These notes provide further information and correct errors brought to light by more recent research. The editor has also provided an afterword, summarizing the final developments and the last years of the steam locomotive in the twentieth century.This new edition retains all the numerous illustrations of the original-- some 200 historic locomotives are pictured, plus numerous portraits of their designers and owners, and line drawings of mechanical configurations."Contents: " Introduction to the Annotated Edition.

Excerpt from Some Recent Developments in Locomotive Practice The Members of the Royal Engineers' Institute, having done me the honour of preserving these letters by printing them among their professional papers, I venture with their kind permission to offer them to a wider public, in the hope that they may contain information interesting to others who watch the growth of Locomotive development in this country. The subject is set forth under the various headings and sub-sections which were given me as a synopsis on which to work, and which I have endeavoured to follow carefully in accordance with the wishes of the authorities.
