ABOUT THE BOOK
Fascinating and well-done history of the 4-8-0 class of locomotives. Traces rise of the 4-8-0 from its tentative beginnings, modifications and expansion until it was used around the world. Includes section on little known Russian class. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. 112 pages of locomotives photographs, diagrams, data, rosters, bibliography and index.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 4-8-0 represents the wheel arrangement of four leading wheels on two axles, usually in a leading truck or bogie, eight powered and coupled driving wheels on four axles and no trailing wheels. In North America and in some other countries the type was usually known as the Twelve-wheeler.
