...Bien que les machines à vapeur locomotives soient beaucoup plus simples dans leur combinaison, que les machines fixes qui fonctionnent dans les usines ou sur les navires, leur invention est de beaucoup postérieure en date à ces dernières. Les bateaux à vapeur sillonnaient les fleuves dans les deux hémisphères, vingt ans avant que la circulation des voyageurs fût établie sur les chemins de fer. Cette circonstance s'explique sans peine, si l'on considère les conditions spéciales auxquelles la machine à vapeur devait satisfaire pour servir à traîner sur la terre, les hommes et les fardeaux...

Pandemonium wafted up out of Deadwood Gulch whenever bellowing, muddy oxen teams led wagons rattling into town. For a decade, thousands of bull trains hauled all that miners, settlers and ne'er-do-wells needed to survive in that isolated prairie oasis. The bulls, thousands of them in mile-long, meandering trains, had last known civilization in Fort Pierre, two hundred miles to the east. After weeks on the harsh prairie of the Sioux, the exhausted convoys appeared out of the prairie dust, each team of twenty or more oxen pulling sturdy, white-bonneted wagons filled with provisions. Author Chuck Cecil restores the glory of the near-forgotten yet indispensable symbols of the West that made life possible on the frontier's western fringe.

The LNER Class A3 Pacific locomotive No. 4472 'Flying Scotsman' is one of the world's most iconic steam engines. It was built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway at Doncaster Works to a design by Nigel Gresley. Taking its name from the London to Edinburgh non-stop service on which it was employed, 'Flying Scotsman' worked many long-distance express trains in a career in which it covered more than 2,000,000 miles (3,200,000 km). <BR><BR>This fascinating pocket-book tells the story of this distinguished locomotive through authentic period literature including LNER and BR service manuals, giving an insight into her construction and operation from the height of her fame in the 1930s through to the end of her BR service in 1963.
