O. S. Nock, a distinguished British railroad writer, provides a fascinating history of the steam era in the UK, looking not only at the locomotives but also the carriages, stations, architecture, signals and permanent way. While cherishing these beautiful lines, Nock is not a sentimentalist and discusses the business aspect as well and how the railways earned what today would be considered princely dividends.
