Industrial Locomotives - France: Books - History

Books on the history, types and technology of French industrial locomotives (steam and diesel, standard gauge and narrow gauge railways).

Les chemins de fer industriels

At the end of the 19th century, the development of railways marked a turning point in the Industrial Revolution. In a booming France, the railway accompanied industry and profoundly affected the regions on the economic, social, political and environmental levels.
Its development contributed to the country's energy wealth and punctuated the life of entire geographical areas. These lines, mainly operated by mining companies, metallurgical groups or by large factories, were connected at one or more points to the general interest network operated by the large companies.

This book restores the memory of the railway's contribution to the Industrial Revolution, a forgotten story. It traces a true national panorama from 1840 to the present day. A new subject combining history, technology and geography.
