The author charts the development of trains and railroads from the earliest days of steam in the 1820s through to the powerful high speed trains of today. This book relives the days when giant steam locomotives thundered across the continents, opening up and bringing civilization to the great open spaces of Australia and North America. The railroads of Africa and South America, where steam may still be seen today, are also covered. The author goes on to describe the work of railroad preservation around the world and the passenger and freight trains of today.
