This book was released on 2000 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louisville & Nashville Steam Locomotives Revised 1968 Edition Richard E. Prince A revised new edition of an encyclopedic study. "For over one hundred years the steam locomotives provided the principal motive power on the Louisville & Nashville RR. During this period over 2000 different steam engines were owned by the Old Reliable." Thus begins Richard E. Princes encyclopedic study of the Louisville & Nashville's Steam Locomotives. First published in 1959 and revised in 1968, this is the crucial book for the Louisville and Nashville Locomotive's many steam fans. With hundreds of vintage photographs, detailed rosters, and schematic drawings it is an invaluable resource for railroad buffs and historians. But even casual readers will be swept up in Prince's history of the growth and diversification of the L&N. Richard E. Prince is author of nine railroad books. He attended Georgia School of Technology in Atlanta. During World War II, he joined the Merchant Marines and sailed on steam Liberty ships. He worked in several capacities for the L&N Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad. He is now retired and lives in Omaha, Nebraska. Among his many books are Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and Seaboard Air Line Railway (Indiana University Press).

Download or read book LNER 2 6 0s written by Peter Waller and published by Ian Allen Pub. This book was released on 2004-09 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructed over a near 40-year period, more than 340 2-6-0s were constructed to the designs of Sir Nigel Gresley, Edward Thompson and Arthur Peppercom. Amongst the great unsung heroes of railway services in northeast England and Scotland primarily, the 2-6-0s operated, until the arrival of the more powerful 'V2' 2-6-2s, the fastest scheduled freight services operated by the LNER. Designed for mixed traffic, the 2-6-0s could be found on a wide range of services, from the mundane pick-up freight to semi-fast passenger trains; indeed, it was only the crack top-link expresses that they were not expected to pull. Amongst the routes for which the type became closely linked were services over the West Highland line from Glasgow to Fort William and Mallaig, for which Sir Nigel Gresley designed the six-strong 'K4' class, locomotives graced with such evocative names as Lord of the Isles and Macleod of Macleod. The more numerous 'K1' class, designed by Peppercom, were amongst the last locomotives built to a design inherited by the LNER and were amongst the last steam locomotives active on North Eastem Region metals as steam rapidly gave way to diesel in 1967.In the latest addition to the popular 'Working Steam' series, the collections of many of the most notable railway photographers in the country - such as Dick Riley, Roy Hobbs and Derek Penney - have been drawn upon to produce this pictorial tribute to the stylish 2-6-0 designs of the GNR and LNER. Incorporating some 85 colour illustrations, alongside an introductory essay and detailed captions, the book is a graphic remainder of the great variety of work undertaken by these locomotives during their long and illustrious careers. The LNER 2-6-0s have, perhaps, been largely overlooked in the vast array of information published on 20th century locomotive development; this pictorial tribute helps to put the record straight. It will appeal to LNER enthusiasts and modellers alike.

Excerpt: The LNER Class A3 Pacific steam locomotive No. 4472 Flying Scotsman (originally No. 1472) was built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works to a design of H.N. Gresley. It was employed on long-distance express trains on the LNER and its successors, British Railways Eastern and North-Eastern Regions, notably on the 10am London to Edinburgh Flying Scotsman service after which it was named. The locomotive is notable for having set two world records for steam traction; becoming the first steam locomotive to be officially authenticated at reaching 100 miles per hour (160.9 km/h) on 30 November 1934, and then setting a record for the longest non-stop run by a steam locomotive when it ran 422 miles (679 km) on 8 August 1989. Retired from regular service in 1963 after covering 2,076,000 miles (3,341,000 km), Flying Scotsman gained considerable fame in preservation. As well as hauling enthusiast specials in the United Kingdom, the locomotive has also toured extensively in the United States (from 1969 to 1973) and Australia (from 1988 to 1989). It is regarded as the world's most famous steam locomotive. The locomotive was completed in 1923, construction having been started under the auspices of the Great Northern Railway (GNR). It was built as an A1, initially carrying the GNR number 1472, because the LNER had not yet decided on a system-wide numbering scheme....

Download or read book British Steam Military Connections LNER Steam Locomotives Tornado written by Keith Langston and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-11-30 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This British Railways history explores the long-held tradition of naming steam locomotives in honor of the military. The naming of steam locomotives was a beloved British tradition since the first railway locomotives appeared in 1804. Many of the names were chosen in honor of military personnel, regiments, squadrons, naval vessels, aircraft, battles and associated historic events. This volume looks specifically at the steam locomotives with military-inspired names that were built by the London & North Eastern Railway, which joined the British Railways stock in 1948. A large number of the company’s Jubilee class locomotives were given names with a military connection, as were a small number of Black Five class engines. Famously the majority of the much-admired Royal Scot class of engines carried names associated with the military in general and regimental names in particular. Many of the nameplates were adorned with ornate crests and badges. Long after the demise of mainline steam, rescued nameplates have become prized collectors’ items. This generously illustrated publication highlights the relevant steam locomotives and explains the origins and social history surrounding their military names.
