Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A lavishly illustrated history of American railroading.
Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg are well known railroad historians and it is easy to see why when you look at this book. It's 415 pages are full of entertaining history, folklore and railroad anecdotes illustrated with 870 photos and prints. Nearly every page has multiple pictures and they are big pictures, too, not "thumb nails." The articles tend to be short, mostly one or two pages including the illustrations. I found this format to be very entertaining and a joy to read. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the development of transportation in America.
