Description

by George L. Fowler (Author)

One of the most significant documents of the steam locomotive age, the Locomotive Dictionary is the ultimate reference for the rail fan. In 1905, the American Railway Master mechanics Association adopted a resolution authorizing the creation of "...an illustrated dictionary of each and every part used in the building of locomotives." The result, edited by famed technical writer George Fowler and published by the Railroad Gazette, was nearly 700 pages long, and richly illustrated with photographs, etchings, and blueprints. The Locomotive Dictionary was a triumph, and quickly became one of the definitive engineering references for the railroad industry. This high-quality reprint of a first edition of this wonderful book, represents the first time in decades that it has been available to the public. Softbound for the first time in one complete volume, it is a wonderful reference that no steam fan, model railroader or museum docent should be without.
