they were during the railroad era-a sampling of the then important focal points of towns and cities across the continent. Their association with that nostalgic period, their picturesqueness, and their distinct and often unique architecture make them a most important part of the American past. But like the iron horses which came to them, they are in turn becoming just as antiquated in terms of modern transport.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe trend is already quite definite. Only in densely populated areas where mass transportation is planned can such structures for railroad patrons be economically justified. So, perhaps sadly to those historically or nostalgically minded, these buildings are disappearing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe purpose here is to recapture an important part of the railroad era-to show railroad stations when they looked their best, were busiest, or were architecturally outstanding. Of course, many of the smaller buildings illustrated make no pretense of being representative of the last, but this should be compensated for by trains, people, or conveyances frequently shown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eSometimes, dates and data have been scant or unavailable, and in a few cases an estimation has been made. Most of the pictures are from the author's collection, but the much appreciated cooperation of many railroads has been outstanding. Due credit has been accorded all pictures from these and individual sources, wherever known. In a number of instances, a picture of a train or locomotive appears opposite that of a station. This equipment would be generally typical of the type which passed through the station at sonic period of its history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eSo, indulge in a bit of remembrance of the wonderful days of the \"Limiteds,\" the \"Expresses,\" the \"Specials,\" and the \"Flyers\" as you look at these pictures.

In practically every American town, from the largest to the most obscure water stop, the railroad station was a focus of activity and of local pride. Railway companies-profitable, influential, and powerful-realized the importance of the railway stations and lavished the best architecture and design on them to attract notice as well as customers. As a result, the nation became dotted with splendid, fanciful, beautifully engineered buildings, and it is these happy symbols of American expansiveness that this book celebrates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:1.0em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eOften showing a picture of the local populace and of the great iron horses that stopped for passengers and freight, this book is a re-creation of a nostalgic moment in American life.
