Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts a chapter in the development of one of the most important machines in history: the locomotive. It mainly covers the work of one leg of one railroad system, the Pennsylvania Railroadâs Altoona shops, and how their innovations led to stand-out locomotives like the K-2, a cornerstone in the development of this crucial technology. The author takes us through the shops to see how the raw materials were shaped and combined into the high-quality end products, explaining the processes at a level accessible to both experienced engineers and those interested in this period of innovation. All this combines into a deep dive into locomotive manufacturing in the early 20th century, which will delight and inform anyone interested in the history of rail travel.
