ON THE BACK COVER
From the 1850s to today, railroads have played a part in the world's major conflicts. Railroads have been used by the military to move troops, supplies, equipment, and even rockets. Many interesting armored trains and railroad guns have also gone to war.

Along with detailed historical background, chapters include a track plan, modeling ideas, and operating suggestions. There is also a chapter specifically on armored trains and railroad guns.
