Description: RailroadTreasures offers the following item: Last Steam Locomotives of France by Yves Broncard 1977 DJ Last Steam Locomotives of France by Yves Broncard Hard Cover with Dust Jacket Copyright 1977 192 Pages The steam locomotives of France have always excited keen interest and admiration throughout Europe as well as in their own country. Their massive outlines were distinctive and their performances legendary, particularly those of the locomotives designed or improved by the great Andre Chapelon, whose science in increasing steam locomotive efficiency strongly influenced technology in many other countries besides his own. In their earlier, highly successful pictorial French Steam, the author and brilliant photographers of this book presented a panorama of all the principal steam locomotive designs that worked on the French national railway system from the conclusion of World War. II. This spectacular new work is complementary to the earlier book. It is a graphic record of the types that served France in its final years of steam. Taking the French Railways system region by region, the book chronicles and pictures the last survivors and their duties. An important additional feature is a comprehensive treatment of the last years of steam on the fascinating industrial and narrow-gauge lines cherished by so many enthusiasts. Maps help the reader to follow the story clearly.
