Download or read book The Twilight of Southern Steam written by Don Benn and published by Pen & Sword Books. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is first and foremost the story of the enginemen and their steeds which brought the steam era to an end on the Southern. It is therefore primarily about locomotive performance but enlivened by stories about how that was achieved and also about the band of young men who followed the exploits of men and machines, day and night over those last two years. It includes a substantial contribution from an ex-Nine Elms fireman and many anecdotes about the enginemen. The book contains about eighty train running logs plus records of lineside observations, detailed descriptions of the work covered by the locomotives and crews from the various steam motive power depots, copies of the actual duty rosters posted at Nine Elms, together with a unique collection of about 150 black and white and color images taken in the 1965 to 1967 period covered by this book. It is the most comprehensive story of those last few years yet produced, and it is truly 'The Untold Story', a fine tribute to the enginemen who performed near miracles with their doomed and run-down fleet of locomotives, in the very different world of the mid-1960's railway, unequaled anywhere else in Britain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years before, during and after the Second World War, The steam locomotive reached its finest hour. Just as the Diesels started arriving, a World War broke out. This put a terrible strain on the railroads, requiring them to move more tonnage in freight and passengers than ever before. The Diesels had to wait until the conflict was over before they rose to dominance on the American railroad scene. During the War, Diesel production was very limited as materials for building them were needed for the War Effort. So American railroads responded by building some of the most powerful, beautiful, and heaviest machines known to humanity. As the War drew down, so did the need for the massive steam locomotives. Many of them served their owners less than a decade before meeting the scrapper's torch. Yet for a time the Diesel and the Steam Locomotive shared the High Iron, working side by side to deliver the freight and the passengers safely. This book illustrates some of those locomotives from all over the United States. Included are general specifications for each locomotive, and interesting facts about the railroad or parts of their operations. Several of the routes the locomotives were assigned are also given tp help the reader understand some of the reasoning behind the construction of the locomotives. Some of their lives may have been short, but their memory presented here is a tribute to those who designed and operated them. Come now and take a look at Steam's Greatest Locomotives, born out of necessity, they saw the United States through a worldwide conflict, and died themselves as a result of the peace they helped bring about.

Download or read book Magnetic North written by Roger Cook and published by Erin, Ont. : Boston Mills Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetic North is an inspiring chronicle of the brief, bright moment when steam locomotives ran their final miles in Eastern Canada, a time when the certainty of their demise made their presence all the sweeter. From the moment Karl Zimmermann and Roger Cook packed their bags in May of 1958 and boarded a sleeper for Montreal, they were hooked on Canadian steam. They arrived just in time to see and record the end of an era. In a sense, Zimmermann and Cook have been collaborating on this book for 40 years. In carefully wrought essays and in photographs selected from among many hundreds made by the authors and other outstanding railway photographers, this book is a vision of classic steam railroading rendered with first-person immediacy. Exerpt from Magnetic North "With armstrong turntable, bucket coaling station, and two-stall enginehouse, La Malbaie reeked of small-time, steam-powered style; it was the epitome of old-fashioned railroading, still rich in humanity. It was labor-intensive to a fault, with stations sprouting train-order boards (and, inside, the operators or station agents to set them) and engine terminals where locomotives sometimes were turned by men with strong backs and strong arms and sometimes were fueled using derricks to wrestle hulking buckets to tender-top. If labor-intensive, it was also irresistible."
