Back of book
Hoosiers, really most of America, dreamed of taking a trip on the Spirit of St. Louis or the Southwestern Limited to Washington, D.C. or New York. The New York Central took vacationers in comfort to Miami Beach. Author Jim Hetherington and photographer Darryl Jones have captured the spirit of romance, freedom and economic and personal promise the Age of Railroads exemplified in America in Indianapolis Union Station.
