The end of the industrial steam age in North America resulted in many
steam locomotives being relegated to parks or museums. However, during
the regular use of steam, there were many instances in which steam
engines became “lost locomotives,” often by either sinking into deep
bodies of water by accident or by being intentionally abandoned in
place. Many of these stories of lost locomotives now range from fact to
urban myth. This book examines some of the best known cases of forlorn
or abandoned steam engines that have been recorded over the past
century. It includes an extensive appendix section detailing known or
rumored lost locomotives.
