Description
 
Edward Loughry was only twenty-four when the Baldwin Locomotive Works sent their young engineer across half the world to bring a cargo of four little steam engines and six double deck carriages to Sydney. He sailed aboard SS Dryad from New York harbour on 15 May 1879 and reached his destination on September 3. The 'Americanisation' of Sydney, according to some observers, dated from Loughry's arrival with the Baldwins.
David Burke is a former journalist and writer of radio dramas and television programs. His many books include Australia's Last Giants of Steam and Kings of the Iron Horse. He lives in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia.
168 pages with 33 color and 181 black-and-white illustrations; Hardcover; Author: David Burke
