Iron & Steam: A History of the Locomotive and Railway Car Builders of Toronto

Nearly 150 years ago James Good's Toronto Locomotive Works made the first railway engine built in British North America, and over the next seven decades Toronto factories rolled out more than 220 steam and electric locomotives and hundreds of cars. This book tells the story of these railway pioneers for the first time, including a scheme to have rolling stock built by prison labor. Includes coverage of every known locomotive built in Toronto.
