First edition of this promotional work for the Fairlie articulated steam locomotive with driving wheels on bogies and at the time one named the “Mountaineer†had been ordered by the newly constructed Denver & Rio Grande Railroad and was the only Double Fairlie to operate on an American narrow gauge railway. After his initial trials for his invention Fairlie received many orders the newly developed locomotive and by 1876 43 different railways operated his patent locomotives which by 1870 were being produced by the Fairlie Engine & Steam Carriage Co. but ceased production after the death of his partner England. His locomotives proved especially popular in Mexico and 49 of his massive 0-6-00-6-0 were to remain in operation until the end of the 1920’s.

During World War I they were one of only three builders to supply 2 foot gauge trench railways and later supplied the US Army switching locomotives through the Korean War.

Over one inch thick. "The first major sawmill in British Columbia was the Port Alberni Anderson mill of 1860/1864, which was closed because it ran out of logs. Manager Gilbert Sproat advised the owners that to get logs to the mill they would need to build a railway. The owners refused so the mill was closed. It was to be almost fifty years until the first logging railway was built in 1912. The last train of logs was delivered to MacMillan Bloedel's Franklin River Camp A in 1957. In the intervening period more than thirty locomotives operated on hundreds of miles of railway grade in the area. Thousands of men were involved in a large number of logging camps, big and small. This 45 year period of railway logging is the subject of our story." - from back board. Abundantly illustrated in black and white. Glossy illustrated boards.
