4to; original black boards, lettered in silver gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; endpaper map; pp. 194; profusely illustrated. Light browning to dustwrapper flaps; earlier owner's hand-stamp to endpapers. Very good condition. "A vivid pictorial survey of steam in South Africa during the late nineteen-sixties. The photographs, mostly taken during 1967-1969, show steam in all its guises - massive condensing 4-8-4s thundering across the semi-desert Karoo at a mile-a-minute, giant double-jointed Garratts battling with the curves and gradients of the coastal escarpments, and at the other end of the scale, industrial locomotives often quaint and elderly on their workaday chores hauling coal, gold or sugar cane. Basic details of all the current locomotive types, supplemented by maps and other useful information, provide a guide to the country's steam which will prove invaluable to anyone planning a Steam Safari to South Africa.".
