"For train enthusiasts, model railroaders, and history buffs, hop aboard this tour of North American railroads, both great and obscure. Few images speak as clearly of a time and a place as a dramatic black-and-white photograph of an American steam locomotive powering through that storied era of railroad history. All the new photographs in this . . . book meticulously recreate that original style, capturing the bygone age of steam rail against the settings of its heyday, including period architecture and other details . . . This . . . photographic gallery features twenty-three preserved steam railroad lines and events covering a twenty-five year period"--Provided by publisher.
