Dizzying mountain passes. Verdant pine valleys. Unforgiving desert canyons. With its vast expanses and diversity of terrain, the American West has long held the fascination of railroad enthusiasts around the world. For more than 30 years, photographer and writer Steve Schmollinger has traveled from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Coast, and from Alberta to Guadalajara, capturing on film the icons of western railroading. This superb collection celebrates the men, women, and machines of the railroads that traverse great geographical divides to transport people and products from Point A to Point B. In addition to classic American railroads past and present, railfans are treated to views of great regional railways, as well as Canadian and Mexican roads. As seen through Schmollinger's lens, the result is a collection of breathtaking scenes that is the next best thing to being there.
