200 years after the world's first steam railway locomotive made its maiden voyage, with Britain leading the way, its evolution continued through the 19th and into the 20th centuries. Despite steam haulage on Britain's nationalized railways ending in 1968, the British public's love affair with these living mechanical monsters endures.
Written by Julian Holland, Britain's Steam Locomotives is a fitting memorial to more than two centuries of British steam locomotive design.
