Synopsis

This book is a practical handbook for anyone considering a career in locomotive engineering. By combining the author's practical experience with historic insights, this book shows the reader how to proceed from an interest in steam engines as a child to working as a railway engineer. From learning the history of the field to getting an inside look at the work of today's mechanics, this resource helps guide the reader's interest in the inner workings of the steam engine into a full-blown career. It goes beyond romanticizing this career path by sharing the many years of training and dedication required to become a locomotive engineer - providing realistic expectations for aspiring engineers. However, the author emphasizes the rewards of pursuing this work, making this book a great read for those who have an interest in steam engines or in engineering careers.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
