European Steam in the 1970s (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781445693484)

Relive the golden age of European steam with stunning photographs from the 1970s.

For railway enthusiasts, the disappearance of steam from British Railways was a loss. But across the Continent, steam power thrived. From Portugal to Austria, railways ran on steam throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s. This volume captures the last days of steam in Western Europe.

Journey through:

• Portugal's broad gauge engines
• Spain's mighty Mikados
• Italy's aging fleets
• Germany's Prussian tank engines
• Austria's mountain freight

With previously unpublished photographs, European Steam in the 1970s is a nostalgic trip for anyone who loves trains and railway history.
