Book DescriptionTravel the world through the pages of this unique pictorial capturing some of the most impressive, significant, and interesting elements of railroading from today and yesterday. Lush photos are accompanied by informative and fascinating stories that convey the energy and excitement of steel-rail transport.

American railroading takes center stage in this volume—including Grand Central Terminal, the Pioneer Zephyr and Moffat Tunnel—but readers will also experience the best the world offers: Britain’s Flying Scotsman, the Japanese Shinkansen, Finland’s Helsinki Station, and more.
