From the first steam-powered locomotives of the early nineteenth century to the high-speed commuter trains of today, the American railroad has been a great engine powering the nation’s growth. This book celebrates the glory and grandeur of that legacy with a lavish tour of the history of the American railroad. Generously illustrated with vintage photographs, modern images, maps, timetables, tickets, brochures, and all manner of memorabilia, the volume offers a fascinating look at the rail industry’s beginnings and development, as well as its place in American history.
