Locomotion
Railway scholar and writer Ransom selects from fact and fiction to show why train travel has been so attractive for 200 years. He also provides insight into the process of running a railroad. The text includes quotes from famous authors such as Charles Dickens, John Masters, and L.T.C. Rolt, as well as lesser known travelers. The diverse topics include Richard Trevithick's Penydarren locomotive of 1804, the first steam intercity railway between Liverpool and Manchester, the working life of a Victorian signalman, the narrow gauge Festiniog railway of 1863, the local lines of central France in the 1950s, and tales of innovative engineering, wartime and narrow-gauge railways, disasters and heroism.
