ISBN: 9781935700623 / Angielski / Miękka / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For almost a century, The Baldwin Locomotive Works was the world's premiere builder of steam locomotives.

ISBN: 9781935700234 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Fairmont Motor Car owes its existence to a tired railway section hand named Fred Mahlman Sr. Exhausted by daily trips using a handcar, Mahlman decided there must be a better way.

Eventually, he hired the machine shop to construct a purpose-built motorcar. The result was so successful that Mahlmann decided to write up a report on his car, and send it to all the major railroads in the United States. Within a...

Heisler Geared Locomotives Catalog
ISBN: 9781935700005 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1892 Charles Heisler received a patent for a new kind of geared locomotive.

Railroad lines crisscrossed the North American continent, allowing for the long-distance transportation of oil, coal, lumbar, gold, and other valuables.

David Moffat, a banker and railroad executive, dreamed of a direct route across the Rocky Mountains, a route that would allow him to tap into Colorado's vast mineral wealth. There was, however, one major obstacle standing in his way-the 13,660-foot Continental...
