Chasing Fire in Steel: One Man's Global Adventure in Search of American Locomotives
With major steam operations all but extinct in North America by the late 1960s, photographer Paul Stephanus embarked on a global journey to track down and photograph American and American-style steam locomotives still in operation.
Through more than 330 color and black-and-white photographs, Chasing Fire in Steel chronicles his journey across 28 countries and three continents.
Stephanus' photos show that although some of the world's greatest steam locomotives were built in America, they operated all around the world, in both war and peacetime, across vast plains and up steep mountainsides, carrying passengers, cargo-and on occasion, photographers.
Includes photos of rare steam locomotives in Japan, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma/Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Sudan, Kenya, Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia from 1967-1973. Many sample pictures can be seen on eBay USA in ooptrains listing for Chasing Fire In Steel.
Be prepared to feel the rumble and smell the smoke as you take this amazing journey around the world with Paul Stephanus chasing fire in steel!
