Up until this week there were requirements in the RNA Covid 19 plan that would make our show unworkable. The Management Committee of AMRA Qld which operates the show is pleased to announce that we have now received concessions from QLD Health that will enable this year's show to proceed as normal. We hope to see all of you here in May.

    > g s J> ° "^ Q as : F7 lA-dh-**^) THE EVOLUTION OF THE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE (1803 to 1898.) BY Q. A. SEKON, Editor of the "Railway Magazine" and "Hallway Year Book, Author of "A History of the Great Western Railway," *•., 4*. SECOND EDITION (Enlarged). £on&on THE RAILWAY PUBLISHING CO., Ltd., 79 and 80, Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue, E.C. 1899. T3 in PKEFACE TO SECOND EDITION. When, ten days ago, the first copy of the " Evolution of the Steam Locomotive" was ready for sale, I did not expect to be called upon to write a preface for a new edition before 240 hours had expired. The author cannot but be gratified to know that the whole of the extremely large first edition was exhausted practically upon publication, and since many would-be readers are still unsupplied, the demand for another edition is pressing. Under these circumstances but slight modifications have been made in the original text, although additional particulars and illustrations have been inserted in the new edition. The new matter relates to the locomotives of the North Staffordshire, London., Tilbury, and Southend, Great Western, and London and North Western Railways. I sincerely thank the many correspondents who, in the few days that have elapsed since the publication: of the "Evolution of the , Steam Locomotive," have so readily assured me of - their hearty appreciation of the book. rj .;! G. A. SEKON. -! January, 1899. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. In connection with the marvellous growth of our railway system there is nothing of so paramount importance and interest as the evolution of the locomotive steam engine.

This locomotive started its second life through a second-hand transaction, 29 years after the manufacturer completed it. Built by Alsthom for Dutch national operator NS in 1982, locomotive 1836 was sold to private rail freight operator LOCON Benelux B.V. in October 2011. Subsequently, the locomotive was repainted and renumbered in 9905. In September 2017, when LOCON Benelux B.V. faced bankruptcy, Rotterdam-based rail fleet management company RailReLease B.V. acquired it. At that time, locomotive 9905 was still going strong at an age of 35 years, showing the potential of second-hand rail vehicles.

But when you look at the result of your work, it fills you with pride and pleasure.” Those are the words Wof our colleague Wojciech Witkowski, a welder at the Pyskowice mainte- nance works operated by DB Schenker Rail Polska. The fact that the railway service was a “rough, hard, man’s job”, as the Bundesbahn officially stated in 1954, didn’t put Julia Bader off: The young shunting engine driver from Ludwigshafen was initially met with scepticism from her male colleagues, who wondered “whether I could do it too. I’ve con- vinced them all since then that I can.” This is the mould from which the people of DB Schenker Rail are made. After the themes that the first four issues of railways this year have focused on, our title story for the end of the year intentionally centres on the people who keep the massive wheels of rail freight transport turning: thousands of people who will even work through the coming holiday period. 6A Locomotives of DB Today, DB Schenker Rail has a market share of 26.5 per cent, making it far and away Dieselhydraulik Lok r Class 254 D DrG Class4D e94, DB Class 194, D Europe’s market leader.
