The author has done a lot of work collecting statistics concerning the number and types of engines owned by each railroad. Unfortunately, I cannot see where this information is of much use. The book is full of many
small photos, most of poor quality. A few large photos would have been better. The book is completely
lacking in information on the actual workings of these steam monsters. The book would have been much
improved in a more traditional size and shape. All in all, not a good effort.

Guide to North American Steam Locomotives is a must for RAIL FANS & Model Railroaders alike. A book like this does not come along often enough. It is an ideal size for taking to Rail Museums & traveling. I would like a larger version for model railroading for home, with larger photos.
The book is well written with so much information packed into it small size. The images are clear showing good detail.
I highly recommend this book. You really should have one! You will not be disappointed!

This book is unbelieveable! It has history on the steam locomotives, the railroads who owned them, the manufactures, some of the major loco designers and the list goes on. My copy continues to get worn as I carry it to every Rail Museum I visit and carefully look up and read about each loco I look at. Don't visit any rail museum with out this guide!
