This book updates and improves upon coverage of the Allegheny type steam locomotives presented in the booklet The World's Greatest Mallets. Now in 2001 Eugene Huddleston is adding to the comparative coverage of the Union Pacific Big Boy. This is engineering history intended for readers with varying knowledge of how a steam locomotive works - from casual reader to committed historian. The locomotives covered in this book belonged to American railroads who had the economic wherewithal during the Great Depression and the eve of World War II to originate steam locomotive designs that most observers agree stand at or near the top in point of size, performance, and speed. New chapters include The Heritage of the Allegheny, Fine-Tuning the Comparisons, and Big Steam in Europe (contemporary with the U.S. steam), by Philip Atkins, Librarian at the National Railway Museum, York, U.K. Retail $29.95.
