"This book captures, in its action-filled photographs, the waning years of steam railroading all over the United States. It shows the steam cars rolling in full glory - eventually to the scrap yard torch. But not to oblivion, for the sight, smell and ound of steam will live forever in the hearts and imaginations of its aficionados. The Last of Steam is divided into 22 different subjects covering the survival of the Union Pacific's Big Boys, the return of the Pennsylvania's rusting steam power to action during traffic peaks, and the Die-hard Norfolk & Western's stubborn attempt to cling to steam, The pleasure of many another well illustrated story awaits you between these covers"
