Pioneer Railroads by Bowman Arco Publishing 1954 144 pages Soft Cover. COVER IS LOOSE.
THIS book tells of these early few who had the vision to see a future for the iron horse." It also tells of those who, once railroads' future seemed secure, tried and sometimes succeeded in taking over control of a work that had been consummated by the blood and toil of hardier but less canny individuals. This is the story of the early days of railroading, the wood burning era, the period of "snake head" rails and shaky wooden trestles. It isn't the whole story, that would take hundreds of volumes, but it is a sampling of the whole-enough to say, of this stuff early railroads were made.
