Locomotive Headboards The Complete Story

Descriere

Reviews:

The practice of naming trains has a long history. The 'Irish Mail' was known thus, unofficially, from about 1848 and the 'Flying Scotsman' from 1862. However, official recognition of these titles did not come until many years later, and engine headboards later still. This title covers different named trains that ran with headboards.
