Less than 50 years ago, trains were routinely hauled by majestic steam-powered locomotives. These magnificent machines still exercise a powerful hold on our imagination, conjuring up the romance of old-fashioned rail travel and the excitement of human ingenuity pitted against the challenges of narrow passes, tight bends and fearsome gradients.
• 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. Many of these journeys have been made possible by the dedicated efforts of steam enthusiasts, who have struggled to acquire, keep open and refurbish routes that railway companies had earmarked for closure.
• "Living Steam" profiles 26 of these remarkable journeys, ranging from the popular Railway in northern Wales to the revived national railway of Eritrea and the Changa Manga Forest Railway of Pakistan.
• Each chapter sketches the story behind the journey and details the locomotives that are in use. Illustrated throughout with spectacular photography of steam in action, "Living Steam" will be a must-have for anyone captivated by the romance of steam travel.
Living Steam 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 Baocock, 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 the Birmingham Railway Museum and the Kidderminster Railway Museum.
