Railroads Across America Photos Celebration of 150 years of railroading By Mike Del Vecchio Dust Jacket 19989 224 Pages
The first railroads, in the 1830s and 1840s, were a novelty; before the end of the century, the railroads were the essential cog in the wheel of the North American economy-the major employer, the major method of transporting freight and people. Every person's daily life was intimately affected by the railroads in some way or other, whether it was reading a newspaper (railroads speeded the news-gathering and production processes) or checking the time (railroads were instrumental in establishing standard time across the continent). Today, the railroads are less visible in daily life-but their role is no less important. They haul more freight than they have ever done, using fewer locomotives and personnel, and even the passenger trains are thriving again.
