Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1900 and 1950, Americans built the most powerful steam locomotives of all time--enormous engines that powered a colossal industry. They were deceptively simple machines, yet, the more their technology was studied, the more obscure it became. Despite immense and sustained engineering efforts, steam locomotives remained grossly inefficient in their use of increasingly costly fuel and labor. In the end, they baffled their masters and, as soon as diesel-electric technology provided an alternative, steam locomotives disappeared from American railroads. Drawing on the work of eminent engineers and railroad managers of the day, this lavishly illustrated history chronicles the challenges, triumphs and failures of American steam locomotive development and operation.

Download or read book Shed Side in South Lancs & Cheshire written by Kenn Pearce and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1950s and 1960s south Lancashire and Cheshire was criss-crossed by a web of railway lines, servicing the various needs of local industries. The region was a haven for railway enthusiasts who pursued the hundreds of steam workhorses based at British Railways depots in ‘chemical towns’ such as Warrington, Widnes, Wigan and Sutton Oak, besides Southport and Northwich. While these facilities appeared less glamorous than larger counterparts in Liverpool or Manchester, the stories of the engines, trains and the men who were based at the depots in these towns was no less fascinating. Shed Side in South Lancashire and Cheshire provides a fascinating portrait of the daily operations of the freight and passenger trains of the region during the final decade of Britain’s steam era. It evokes a period of grimy, metal-clattering, smoke-filled industry, and of an era forever etched in our industrial heritage.

Download or read book Decline and Return to Mainline Steam written by Laurie Golden and published by . This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1960s, British Railways withdrew its thousands of steam locomotives from the national network. The process started gradually at the start of the 1960s but accelerated towards the end of the decade so that by 1968 the last steam-operated trains had ceased. The decade also saw a wave of line closures in an effort to make the railways more economical to run. However, railtours in the 1960s allowed enthusiasts what was often a final chance to enjoy special steam-operated workings, many over lines that were to close later. In 1968 BR established a ban on steam operation on any of its main lines (apart from Flying Scotsman) which was to last until the early 1970s. When the ban lifted railtours using steam returned and for many the 1970s and 1980s were a golden age of railtours, with many unusual workings. In this book Laurie Golden recaptures these exciting years of railtours on Britain's railways where so much was changing so fast, steam disappearing, lines closing and the old infrastructure being swept away, including mechanical signalling. With approximately half of the photographs representing the rundown of steam operation in the period 1963-68, and the rest of the photographs capturing the era of the return to steam on the national network for railtours in the 1970s and 1980s, this book is a portrait of an era that is now part of the history of our railways.
