Top Steam Railways of the World by Anthony Lambert
Less than 50 years ago, trains were routinely hauled by majestic steam-powered locomotives. Although the heyday of steam has passed, it is still possible to travel on preserved lines, heritage railways and industrial lines where steam traction is still in use. This book profiles 26 of these remarkable journeys.
Top Steam Journeys of the World features contributions from 13 rail writers, many of whom also contributed to The World's Great Railway Journeys and Extraordinary Railway Journeys, both published by New Holland. Among the authors are Steve Barry, Peter Lemmey, Nick Lera and Colin Boocock, who have also provided some of the memorable photography contained in the book. Anthony Lambert, consultant and author, has travelled on the railways of over 40 countries and written 15 books about his experiences. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a trustee of both Birmingham and Kidderminster railway museums.
