Reviews
On Jul 10 2007, SDENNEY said:
"This is an informative and lively account of trains from the early pioneers in locomotive and railroad construction through the opening of the American West right up to the latest experiments with monorail systems for urban and inter-urban services. The detailed color illustrations of trains from all over the world add to the comprehensive nature of the text. The author shows how and why the railroads came, what made them successful and how they will be changed to meet future needs in transportation."
