It was the literal engine of the Industrial Revolution, and it played an instrumental role in putting the United States on the world stage. While the steam locomotive's basic principle of operation is simple, designers and engineers honed these concepts into 100-mph passenger trains and 600-ton behemoths capable of hauling mile-long freight at incredible speeds. American Steam Locomotives is a thorough and engaging history of the invention that captured public imagination like no other, and the people who brought it to life."--Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a High-wheeled racers -- More wheels and bigger fireboxes -- Vehicular design for horsepower -- Big wheels turning -- Compounding -- Superheating -- Francis Cole -- Locomotive safety regulation -- Leadership in industrial research -- Federal takeover -- The formative contest -- The steam locomotive's final form: the Texas type -- The steam locomotive's final form: the Hudson -- Streamlining -- The Northern -- Giants upon the Earth -- Counterpoint: why the diesel? -- Big Boy and Allegheny -- The T1 and poppet valves -- Norfolk & Western's Big Three -- Resisting the revolution -- Industrial beauty and the beholder. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Steam locomotives $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Railroads $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Railroads. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01088711 650 7 $a Steam locomotives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01132241 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Withuhn, William L. $t American steam locomotives. $d Bloomington, IN : Indiana University Press ; Pflugerville, TX : Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc., [2019] $z 9780253039347 $w (DLC) 2018058540 830 0 $a Railroads past and present. 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202025018.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200505010444.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200208014227.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=16309090550D11E9884C074097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
