Description of Rail, Steam and Speed
From October 6 through 14, 1829, in a village just outside Liverpool, England, spectators gathered to witness one of the most remarkable events of the Industrial Age: a battle among locomotives known as the Rainhill Trials. This work explains why and offers an account of the trials, people, and science that gave birth to steam locomotion.
