Book excerpt: This book is an account of my experiences growing up in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, about exciting situations I found my self in as a pilot and aircraft owner for 20 some years. Also, many times I have been asked about the operations of a railroad. I have tried in this book to relate some of these operations while telling what goes on in the cab and the sights that are seen through a locomotive windshield. I have also related some of the narrow escapes and dangerous situations I have found myself in as an Engineer for forty years. Sometimes it was humorous, sometimes scary, sometimes deadly. So all you guys and gals, who always thought you wanted to be a locomotive engineer let me tell you about what you missed. In some instances you'll be glad you did.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography discusses the life of George Stephenson. He improved on the earlier steam-powered locomotive designs by using flanged-wheel adhesion on his locomotive, the Bl?cher. He also built the Locomotion, the train of choice on the Stockton and Darlington Railway. That railway was the first public steam railway in the world and had considerable influence on the wide-spread use of trains. His train Rocket won the Rainhill Trials, a competition for locomotions of the time. He continued to make larger, better-running trains throughout his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development of the Locomotive Engine: A History of the Growth of the Locomotive Form Its Most Elementary Form, Showing the Gradual Steps Made Toward the Developed Engine, With Biographical Sketched of the Eminent Engineers and Inventors Who Nursed It on Its Way to the Perfected Form of to-Day My purpose in writing this book was based on the belief that all intelligent railway men and hosts of others are sufficiently interested in the locomotive to desire a book giving a comprehensive history of the growth of this form of engine. The first moving cause for the determination to write this book originated about thirty years ago when I read an article in a popular magazine professing to give a condensed history of the locomotive engine that was full of misstatements and errors. I wrote to the editor, pointing out some of the most glaring mistakes, such as one stating that the first portion of the New York Central Railroad was opened with an engine called the "John Bull," which had an upright boiler. The editor replied that the article was written by a person who was an authority on such matters, and that there was no doubt that the statements made were correct. On reading the editors letter I determined to write a history of the locomotive, and I have been collecting material for it ever since. Most of the articles composing the book have been published in the pages of Railway and Locomotive Engineering, my own journal. As the articles appeared I invited readers to send in corrections if they found any mistakes. They responded very exhaustively, and many of the statements have led to long discussions and correspondence. I have been actuated by an earnest desire to publish exact facts, and after sifting conflicting statements have used my best judgment to give those that are founded on the most reliable authority. That has caused the material in the book to be practically rewritten. I give this book of history to the world with the humble hope that it may prove as free from mistakes as the most carefully written historical books have been, and that it may be found of interest to many who are engaged in railroad operations, or who may be interested in the appliances which have been used so successfully in the development of this great country. Whatever may be the popular estimate of the work, however, nothing can ever deprive me of the pleasant recollection of the many cheering words of encouragement and help connected with its preparation that have come from almost every part of the world.
