The book details the story of the fireless locomotives, particularly focusing on the "Rubicon," a steam-storage locomotive that served the National Cash Register Company in Dayton, Ohio, at the turn of the 20th century. The narrative explores the development and operational advantages of fireless locomotives in industrial settings, particularly their roles in enhancing factory environments by reducing smoke and risks associated with traditional steam engines. The content primarily revolves around the Rubicon and its two sister engines, the Dayton and the South Park, outlining their construction, usage, and eventual retirement. The book highlights how their design allowed them to operate safely in flammable environments without the danger of sparks or explosions, which was critical in factories. It contrasts the old steam-storage technology with the newer Diesel-electric locomotives that replaced them, emphasizing their significance in America's industrial evolution. The narrative concludes with the Rubicon's preservation as a historical artifact, underscoring its importance to industrial heritage and the transition from steam to modern power.
