Purchase options and add-ons

Through Dennis A. Livesey's camera lens, readers will experience the thrill of the steam railroad, a transportation system that dominated the USA for over 100 years and helped build a nation. In 131 photographs of Steamtown—a heritage railroad—see the billowing smoke and the flashing steel rods that turn enormous spoked wheels, hear the scream of the whistle, and listen as veteran railroaders share their stories and wisdom. Find out what it means to be in charge of the handbrake on a 400-passenger train as it begins a downhill descent. This book goes beyond train hardware and history, sharing stories so that those outside the railfan community can appreciate the importance of preserving this part of our history.

    Dennis Livesey is a skilled photographer and this is a beautifully photographed book, Along with the extensive black and white images along with a shorter section of color comes an interesting narrative accompanying the Smoke Crew section along with beautiful formatting including well placed and styled quotes accompanying some of the images. The high quality presentation and image reproduction, along with the varied compositions of both railroad and human interest, make the volume attractive not only to the train buff but to those attracted to high quality photographic art as well as those interested in the operations of an active historical preserve of a key component of culture and industry. Highly recommended.

    You don't have to be a railfan to love this book. The photography is powerfully beautiful, evoking not only the sights, but the sounds, the smells and the raw strength of these magnificent machines. The text pays ample tribute to an amazing history and to the people, past, present and future who build, maintain and operate the equipment. Dennis Livesey's photographs are works of art, which fittingly portray these iron wonders with the richness, the power and the beauty that they deserve.

    Smoke over Steam Town is an intimate look inside a by gone era of Railway travel and equipment. Every shot is a glimpse into the workings of railroading of yesteryear.
    Dennis Livesey takes us on a journey and shows us people with skills knowledge that many no longer have. Running these locomotives is becoming a lost art. Your are getting a peak at the people inside that keep these trains running. Every frame tells a story. Beautiful work all around.

    The photographs of these mighty steam engines are stunning... Pretty unique of how the book talks about the hard working railroad men of Steamtown talk about their job experiences of railroading such as being engineers, firemen, and conductors. These mean and lean iron machines such as the ones in this book is what built America. If you're a train lover and rail fan I would recommend this book.

    This is a wonderful book, a cinematographic experience really (and the author's experience as a camera man may be the cause of that). It's a look inside the world of steam and the folks who run that steam at Steamtown National Park that provides amazing stories and information on how to run a steam engine as well as breathtaking artfully framed photographs that lift your spirits during your edification.
  • Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2017
    This book was a total disappointment. It was all about one engine at Steamtown. The book only had a couple of pictures of other locomotives located there. The photography was excellent though. We bought this book to see and find out what ALL is on display at Steamtown, but, not so. We highly recommend the 'other Steamtown' book called "Steam over Steamtown" by a different author. Good book that details most all of the 'other' engines.
