DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION
The Great Railroads of North America tells the story of the railroads that united North America, from the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central in the East, the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific in the West, the Northern Pacific and Canadian National in the North, to the Baltimore & Ohio and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe in the South.
Each chapter in this book chronicles the history of one of North America's great roads, from the early days when the railroads struggled to unite the vast continent, through the golden era of rail travel, to the mergers and acquisitions of the present day.
The Great Railroads of North America is also the story of the men who turned rails of steel into empires: Cyrus Holliday of the Santa Fe, who dreamed of connecting America's heartland with the Pacific coast; Donald Smith and George Stephen, the founders of the Canadian Pacific, the railroad that settled the Canadian West; James J. Hill, Great Northern's "Empire Builder"; and The Big Four-Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins, Collis Huntington, and Charles Crocker-whose Central Pacific joined the Union Pacific, creating the nation's first transcontinental railroad.
Illustrated with over 300 photographs, many in color, The Great Railroads of North America takes the reader on an unforgettable journey through railroading's fascinating past.
