This book gives a fascinating look into the successes and failures of the locomotive builders, then on the cutting edge of technology. Each builder is considered in its place of toil. Philadelphia, Schenectady and Lima, Ohio are here with a host of other locations from New England to San Francisco. The Canadian builders are included.
