Eccentric Crank, The By Don Barbeau 86 Pages Steam Locomotives in review 1983
The Eccentric Crank By Don Barbeau 86 Pages Steam Locomotives in review
Copyright 1983
Profiles of existing and other memorable steam locomotives; their history, measurements, operation and attraction for an unabashed enthusiast.
The steam locomotive profiles presented in this book were initially published monthly in the CALL BOARD, the newsletter of the Mohawk & Hudson Chapter, NRHS, beginning in October, 1976. What began as a brief narrative evolved into a more detailed profile describing not only a particular locomotive, but explaining the workings of steam locomotives in general. Three quarters of the articles featured existing steam locomotives and their operation, while the balance of the subjects were noteworthy locomotives of the past selected for their particular interest to the writer.
Upon completion of the series, numerous requests were received for a compilation of the articles. Through the support of the Mohawk & Hudson Chapter, and the capable assistance of its CALL BOARD editor, Joseph D. Thompson, we are able to present this volume, which is arranged in essentially the same order as the original articles appeared chronologically. We hope you find it enjoyable.
