Locomotion [Concertina fold-out book]

The beautiful concertina book folds out to a stunning 54 inch panorama detailing the history of trains and locomotives from the very first railroads and machines to sustainability in the twenty-first century and beyond! A brilliant wraparound cover details the notable benchmarks in the history and mythology of trains.This is a good choice for classroom libraries and school libraries who serve a slightly older crowd. The information on trains around the world and at various points in history is perfect for transportation units.
