Las locomotoras y los trenes han desempeñado un papel fundamental en el desarrollo de las sociedades, haciendo posible la exploración de nuevos territorios, la explotación de grandes riquezas naturales y facilitando las comunicaciones entre las personas. Al comienzo los trenes eran impulsados por locomotoras a vapor. Luego vinieron los trenes que funcionaban con electricidad y con combustible diesel. También se han desarrollado locomotoras impulsadas por turbinas de vapor. La primera locomotora a vapor fue desarrollada por el ingeniero e inventor inglés Richard Trevithick en 1803. Una década más tarde otro ingeniero inglés, George Stevenson, transformó este invento en una efectivo medio de transporte. En los Estados Unidos la primera locomotora fue construida por Peter Cooper para la compañía de ferrocarriles de Baltimore y Ohio. Este entretenido libro, con hermosas imágenes, presenta la historia de este maravilloso medio de transporte.
