Less than 50 years ago, trains were routinely hauled by majestic steam-powered locomotives. These magnificent machines still exercise a powerful hold on our imagination, conjuring up the romance of oldfashioned rail travel & the excitement of human ingenuity pitted against the challenges of narrow passes, tight bends & fearsome gradients. Although the heyday of steam has passed, it is still possible to travel on preserved lines, heritage railways & industrial lines where steam traction is still in use. Many of these journeys have been made possible by the dedicated efforts of steam enthusiasts, who have struggled to acquire, keep open & refurbish routes that railway companies had earmarked for closure. This book profiles 26 of these remarkable journeys, ranging from the popular Ffestiniog Railway in northern Wales to the Changa Manga Forest Railway of Pakistan. Each chapter sketches the story behind the journey & details the locomotives that are in use, illustrated throughout with spectacular photography. ...
