The Lore Of The Train by C. Hamilton Ellis

This magnificent volume concentrates on the train itself, the machine for actural 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, Richar Trevithick's 1804 Penydarren Tramroad in south Wales, to the introduction of the latest electric trains, most notable at this stage in Japan. 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 fine paintings -- inside front cover.
