| | To accompany the popular range of Vanishing World Steam video programmes that spotlight Chinese steam in action, Tele Rail are proud to announce this second lavishly illustrated book featuring stunning colour photographs of Chinese steam, from the collections of the following internationally acclaimed railway photographers: Andy Clark, Rob Dickinson, Ron Lingley, Vernon Murphy, Michael Rhodes, Peter Skelton and Li Weishu. When it was first published in January 2000, Extreme Steam - featuring stunning action in the depths of the Chinese winter - immediately set a new standard for contemporary railway books. Incredibly Chinese steam has survived, albeit in considerably reduced numbers, into this century, and to mark the continued joy of being able to witness genuine everyday working steam Tele Rail are pleased to now present 21st Century Extreme Steam. With over 300 carefully chosen colour photos, and a selection of moody black and white views that highlight action from railways in China that survived until the start of the new millennium, 21st Century Extreme Steam captures the grandeur and atmosphere of the last great steam show on earth. Most of the carefully chosen photographs were taken during the bitterly cold winter months when temperatures regularly fall as low as -30°centigrade, giving almost volcanic steam and smoke effects. 21st Century Extreme Steam, with its unsurpassed creative content, brings vividly to life the final chapter in the history of working steam, and is certain to appeal to everyone who loves steam railways.
