ON THE BACK COVER
Mention Amtrak and you're sure to receive an impassioned response from just about anyone within earshot. Employees, riders, historians, and even those with little interest in rail travel all seem to have deep-seated opinions, positive and negative. In this colorful look at America's passenger rail network, author and photographer Brian Solomon dispels the myths surrounding Amtrak while providing a brief background of the U.S. passenger rail industry and a history of Amtrak that spans the federal Railpax legislation that led to its implementation in 197I to today. Additional chapters examine the motive power Amtrak has used since 1971, its passenger cars, and its self-propelled trains. Each region and route is represented, as are all of the locomotives and rolling stock described, in a collection of artful photographs by Solomon and other top rail photographers across the country
