"The Evolution of the Steam Locomotive (1803 to 1898)" by George Augustus Nokes is a historical exploration of how steam engines on railways changed from the beginning of the 1800s to the end, carefully avoiding personal opinions. The author's goal is to keep the facts straight, show special pictures, and thank the train experts who helped put it together, because everyone is excited to read about trains. Beginning with Richard Trevithick's first designs, the book promises to uncover the improvements, important inventors, and big impact of locomotives on the railway.
