This magnificent volume concentrates on the train itself, the machine for actual conveyance, and all its components - steam, electric and oil-propelled locomotives, and passenger, freight and special cars. All important national contributions to the development of this remarkable machine are faithfully recorded, and the story is continuous from the first invention containing all the elements that make up a train, Richard Trevithick's 1804 Penydarren Tramroad in South Wales, to the introduction of the latest electric trains, most notably at this stage in Japan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Calibri\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.08px;\"\u003eAll important developments in the history of the train are illustrated by detailed drawings, many of them fully and accurately coloured, while the picturesque side of the subject is rendered by reproductions of woodcuts, engravings and tine paintings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eAll pictures are of the actual item.  If this is a railroad item, this material is obsolete and no longer in use by the railroad.  Please email with questions.
