Become an instant expert on steam railways. In this easy-reference guide, author Stan Yorke takes the reader on a journey back in time to see the origins of our railway system, describing in detail how and why these lines were built and run.
Packed with photographs and detailed illustrations that bring this fascinating subject to life, Steam Railways Explained tells the story of the development of the British railway system, the different parts of this network, and what made them work.
It also goes beyond the characters and events of railway history to look at why things are the way they are, how the machines work, and the function of the numerous devices we see around a working railway line.
This is a book to ignite your interest in railways. For anyone wishing to continue their exploration of the subject, the book includes a list of preserved railways and railway museums open to the public.
