Description

Written by Zerah Colburn during his tenure as editor of The American Railroad Journal, this work became a standard technical text on steam locomotives in the United States. Colburn’s command of the subject was evident in this work and by its widespread use, but his temperament prevented him from being successful in the industry in the long term.
