Railways And Locomotives

""Railways and Locomotives: Lectures Delivered at the School of Military Engineering at Chatham in 1877"" is a book written by John Wolfe Barry and originally published in 1882. The book is a collection of lectures given by Barry at the School of Military Engineering in Chatham, England, in 1877. The lectures cover a wide range of topics related to railways and locomotives, including the history of railways, locomotive design and construction, railway signalling, and the use of railways in military operations. The book is intended for engineers, military personnel, and anyone interested in the development and operation of railways and locomotives. Barry was a prominent civil engineer who worked on many important railway projects in the UK, including the construction of the Tower Bridge in London. His lectures in this book provide a valuable insight into the technical and practical aspects of railway engineering in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
