Synopsis Norfolk & Western by : William E. Warden
The Norfolk & Western railroad was Americas last holdout for steam - in 1954 every locomotive on its roster was steam powered. Yet, by 1960, every N&W train was diesel powered. This is the amazing story of the American railroads switch to diesel locomotives as told through the history of the Norfolk & Western. Warden tells how and why they switched to diesel, identifies N&W steam locomotives, the trains to which they were assigned, and the diesel locomotives that took their place.

Synopsis Roanoke Locomotive Shops and the Norfolk & Western Railroad by : Wayne McKinney
In the history of the steam locomotive Roanoke Machine Works played a key part. Take a look at this important economic center of the New South. Roanoke Shops has been an indispensable part of the Roanoke Valley and the Magic City for more than 125 years. Founded in 1881 as an independent company, Roanoke Machine Works built new locomotives and cars for the Shenandoah Valley and Norfolk & Western Railroads. Situated between the picturesque Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains, the facility caused an economic boom in the nearby village of Big Lick and the surrounding area. By 1891, Big Lick had become Roanoke and had emerged as one of the most important economic centers in the New South. Today, Roanoke Shops employs skilled craftsmen who provide the highest-quality overhauls and repairs to diesel locomotives. This book takes a look into its history, particularly at production during that exciting and enchanting era of the steam locomotive.

Synopsis Giants of Steam by : Jonathan Glancey
The thrilling story of the last, and greatest, generation of steam railway locomotives in regular main line service: a story of invention, skill and passion, Giants of Steam reveals how the true advocates of steam's glory days pushed its design and performance to remarkable limits, taking these powerful and beautifully designed machines to new heights against a backdrop of the political upheavals and military conflicts of the mid twentieth century. Glancey tells the stories of the greatest of the 'steam men', the charismatic engineers who designed these machines and put them to use. Giants of Steam also reveals how steam design has continued to progress against the odds in recent decades, while enthusiasm for the steam locomotive itself is far from burning out.
