Inside dust jacket
Fully illustrated with more than 900 color and black and white pictures, including specially commissioned artwork and diagrams.
For the first time in one original and comprehensive volume, all the many varied aspects of the world's railroads, past and present, have been brought together. Since steam locomotives first pulled trains over iron rails more than 150 years ago, the railroads have changed the whole fabric of society and industry more than almost any other innovation. The whole story-from before the immortal Best Friend of Charleston to the 185 mph supertrains of the near future-is told in this magnificent book.
