Development of the Locomotive Engine e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I give this book of history to the world with the humble hope that it may prove as free from mistakes as the most care fully written historical books have been, and that it may be found of interest to many who are engaged in railroad Opera tions, or who may be interested in the appliances which have been used so successfully in the development of this great country. Whatever mav be the popular estimate of the work, however, noth ing can ever deprive me of the pleasant recollection of the many cheering words of encouragement and help connected with its preparation that have come from almost every part of the world.
