In his new book he chronicles the innovation and sociological impact of the railway technology that changed the world, and could very well change it again. From the frigid trans-Siberian railroad to the antiquated Indian Railways to the futuristic MagLev trains, Zoellner offers a stirring story of man's relationship with trains. Zoellner examines both the mechanics of the rails and their engines and how they helped societies evolve. Not only do trains transport people and goods in an efficient manner, but they also reduce pollution and dependency upon oil. Zoellner also considers America's culture of ambivalence to mass transit, using the perpetually stalled line between Los Angeles and San Francisco as a case study in bureaucracy and public indifference. Train presents both an entertaining history of railway travel around the world while offering a serious and impassioned case for the future of train travel"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Railroads $x History. 650 0 $a Railroad travel $x History. 650 7 $a TRAVEL / Special Interest / Adventure. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a TRAVEL / Special Interest / General. $2 bisacsh 856 42 $3 Cover image $u ftp://ppftpuser:welcome@ftp01.penguingroup.com/Booksellers and Media/Covers/2008_2009_New_Covers/9780670025282.jpg 941 $a 16 952 $l WCPC115 $d 20240806012523.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724072128.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20230214010812.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011847.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728021303.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722041407.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528054748.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204072551.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210015554.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006084917.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720042933.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826090049.0 952 $l UXAX826 $d 20160524013942.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20150509030125.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20150220011008.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20140311010244.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E093DE683FC11E388DCFDB2DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IW9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
