The History of North American Steam

This illustrated history of steam trains makes a great gift item for train enthusiasts and railroad historians. It covers steam locomotives from its origins, its expansion through to its eventual obsoletion. It also includes a chapter on railroads in the north and south which covers Canada and Mexico. 

Lavishly illustrated throughout in full color and written by an author with a number of authoritative titles to his credit, this book has been published in two other formats with over 40,000 copies sold. This new edition is in a mid-size format which would make a perfect addition to the collector’s bookshelf.
