Locomotive Engine Running and Management

"Locomotive Engine Running and Management" by Angus Sinclair is a handbook from the 1800s that trains locomotive operators, covering everything from fixing mechanical parts to operating the engine. The book begins with the author's own story as an engineer; the book shares his experiences and observations which eventually turned into this published work. It focuses on the qualities that make a locomotive operator successful. It also shares the value of doing regular checks, and how to get the engine ready for service. Ultimately, the book intends to give hands-on, useful tips into the jobs and skills needed to keep trains running well and on time.
