Steam locomotives - Italy: books - history and types

Books on the history, models and technology of steam locomotives of the FS (Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane) and other railway companies in Italy.

Dalle 736 alla 740.451 - L'ultima stagione del vapore in Toscana

This captivating journey through Italy's railways from the post-war period to the 1980s is told through a collection of stunning images, many of which are unpublished, in both black and white and color. The photographs, taken by some of the best photographers, are paired with stories from those who worked on steam-powered trains.
This is not just a book about trains or a photo album; it is an effort to tell, through words and images, the story of the last years of steam traction in Tuscany.
