    Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed look at the design and construction of Canadian steam locomotives built between 1886 and 1913. The author, Francis R. F. Brown, provides a comprehensive overview of the various classes of locomotives used on Canadian railways during this period, including light engines, heavy passenger engines, and consolidation engines. Brown's insights are particularly valuable because they are based on his own extensive experience as a designer and supervisor at the Canadian Pacific Railway's Montreal shops. This book is not simply a technical manual, however. It also explores the historical and cultural context of Canadian locomotive design. Brown describes the challenges faced by Canadian engineers in adapting locomotives to the country's harsh climate and rugged terrain. He also discusses the influence of American and British locomotive design on Canadian practice. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Canadian railways or in the design and construction of steam locomotives. Brown's detailed descriptions and insightful analysis make this book an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the development of Canadian locomotive technology.
