What is Steam, Smoke, and Steel: Back in Time with Trains about?

All Aboard! This Train Travels Through History Making Stops In Time To Learn About The Progress Of Travel By Rail. Hop Up Into The Cab Of A Speeding Modern-day Locomotive And Look Down The Tracks Into The Past. Perhaps These Are The Same Tracks That The Diesel-electric Locomotives Of Thirty Years Ago Thundered Down, Pulling Their Loads. Perhaps You Can See The Steam Engines Of Thirty Years Before That. Watch Time Unravel And The Landscape Change As The History Of Trains Barrels Through The Pages Of Steam, Smoke And Steel: Back In Time With Trains. The First Trains Puffed Great Billowing Clouds Of Smoke And Showered Passengers With Burning Embers As They Sped Down The Rails At A Pulse-pounding Twenty Miles An Hour! By The 1850's, However, Trains Were Traveling Much Faster, Much Farther, And Much Cleaner And Train Travel Contributed To The Growth Of Our Nation. Young Readers Will Be Fascinated By The Exciting -- And Sometimes Dangerous -- Story Of Trains While They Learn About The Different Kinds Of Engines, Equipment, And Jobs Necessary For Operating Trains Throughout History. The Young Narrator Introduces Readers To Trains From The Time Of His Great-great-great-great-great Grandfat
