Steam Locomotives

by F.George Kay

The era of the steam locomotive is over, but in its 150-year life it was the instrument of the enormous changes which transformed the economic face of the world,. Today, the steam locomotive continues to stimulate excitement and enthusiasm, much as it did in 1829, when 10,000 spectators saw Stephenson's Rocket triumph at the Rainhill trials.
