Railroads have been a part of the American scene since the early nineteenth century. From that time forth, railroading boomed and thousands of railroad companies were formed. Many succumbed quickly to financial chaos, while others were swallowed by larger companies. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, several railroad companies would emerge as classic icons of America’s rail transportation network: the Chesapeake & Ohio, the Southern, the Nickel Plate Road, Wabash, Western Pacific, and more. More Classic American Railroads picks up where its predecessor–Classic American Railroads–leaves off, exploring the fascinating lives of 16 noble railroads through an entertaining text and a wealth of historical, colorful photographs and maps. You’ll ride the Lehigh Valley, Chicago Great Western, Wabash, Nickel Plate, New Haven, Kansas City Southern, Erie Railroad, Delaware & Hudson, and other favorites from the golden age of railroading.
All aboard!
