The Train Driver`s Manual

You want to be a steam engine driver? It`s not that simple – it`s not just a matter of blowing the whistle, releasing the brakes and opening the regulator. Where is the whistle? Which handle operates the brakes and what is a regulator? And do you really want to be in a locomotive cab where your front will bake and your rear will freeze? Over the years, accidents have occurred on the railways and to prevent a reoccurrence, rules have been made. Do you know them? How are trains kept apart so that you don`t strike the one in front, or are hit by the one in the rear? What`s to stop trains on a single line colliding head-on? Colin Maggs has assembled a really fascinating collection of illustrated railwaymen`s handbooks, which were required reading for a footplate man. They answer all these questions and more.
