About this book
The Locomotive Of Today ( 1899)
Author: The Locomotive Publishing Company. Limited.
Year: 1899
The modern locomotive, as we see it to-day, incorporates the combined efforts of many master minds, and although the general character of the earlier engines has not been radically departed from, the details have been greatly improved and the dimensions considerably increased. This addition in size is not so apparent when comparing English engines as foreign ones, for the reason that the loading gauge adopted for the English railways is more limited than that chosen by our friends over the seas; consequently our locomotives not only have, but probably always will have, to be more closely built.
