Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book describes the evolution of freight locomotives for traversing the Rocky Mountains of Canada as the Canadian Paciic Railway responded to the challenge of increasing trafc across the formidable terrain. The author focuses on the development of the Malet Compound locomotive, engineered for maximum pulling power to overcome steep gradients and navigate treacherous mountain passes. The book provides technical details of the locomotive's design, including the evolution of boiler, superheater, and cylinder arrangements, as well as the innovative centring and guiding device for improved stability. The author also explores the operational challenges of maintaining these powerful machines in extreme weather conditions and discusses the transition to even larger and more powerful locomotive designs, culminating in the introduction of the Santa Fe type 2-10-2 locomotives, which set new standards for hauling capacity on the Rocky Mountain section. Through the author's firsthand experience as a locomotive designer and his access to archival material, this book provides a valuable insight into the engineering and operational aspects of these remarkable locomotives, which played a pivotal role in the development of Canada's transportation infrastructure. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
