With this book, students will have a fun-filled journey through the changing technology of diesel and electric locomotives. They will learn about the high-speed trains of Japan, France, Germany, and the United States and will get an in-depth view of bogies, brakes, and tilting technology. They’ll even read about China’s new maglev trains, which use a magnetic field to float above their tracks, and about Japan’s train of the future, the Aerotrain.
