Book Description
Excerpt from American Compound Locomotives: A Practical Explanation of the Construction, Operation and Care of the Compound Locomotives in Use on American Railroads As the result of rebuilding the little Baxter engine on the Worcester & Shrewsbury Railroad, about thirty years ago, my father, Henry F. Colvin, became an advocate of the compound locomotive. His suggestions and designs have materially aided in the development of this type of locomotive, and his friendly counsel and criticism have been of great assistance to the author in preparing this work. To him this book is affectionately dedicated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
