LIVING STEAM
Although steam traction has almost vanished from main-line railways, it lives on in the form of innumerable heritage and preserved lines, kept alive largely through the efforts of dedicated volunteers. from the meadows of northern France and the Pennsylvania coalfields to the sun-baked slopes of Africa's Great Rift Valley, these lines allow visitors to experience the magic of steam and to explore an important aspect of our industrial heritage. Living Steam profiles 26 unique journeys, of various distances and gauges, all involving steam traction. Written by veteran railway and illustrated with memorable images of locomotives in action, the book also inckudes fact panels, locator maps and information on contacts and booking.
