A Must Have Book for Lovers of Passenger Trains!

This book is loaded with information about the golden era of passenger trains. Lots of large color photos of the great trains. This is certainly my favorite book about passenger trains!

Beautifully done, a "must" for the railfan

This is a beautiful history of passenger railroads. The photographs are beautiful, but this is far more than a "coffee-table" book--the text is rich, fascinating and well-researched. Many boxes and sidebars add interesting side notes. If there were a college course on "Golden Age of Passenger Trains 101," this would be the textbook. Definitely one of my favorite train books of all time--and I have plenty!
