Not only are North American railroads alive, but as seen here in Gary Benson's spectacular photographs, they are more varied and colorful than ever. From the throbbing behemoths of the Santa Fe and the Burlington Northern crossing the Western states to the Canadian National moving oversize cars across the St. Clair River by barge, men and machines are doing what they have done for so many years, transporting people and goods across a landscape that has never seemed more appealing. Benson has followed not only the trains, but the people who run and maintain them, the places they work, and the obstacles in their way. Here, for instance, is the barge used in maintaining the trestle on which the Norfolk Southern crosses Louisiana's Lake Pontchartrain 0 and of course the control towers and yards. Benson takes us to a country railroad station during New England's winter, trackside at the top of California's Tehachapi Mountains, and inside the locomotives of coal trains. We even go to the last destination, the railroad graveyard. This exciting book covers all facets of railroading as we begin the final decade of this century. The spritely and knowledgable text by Fred W. Frailey provides new insights into the revitalization of an industry that has been a fixture of American life for more than one hundred and fifty years. As thorough as it is beautiful, this volume is essential for anyone who has ever thought about trains, or plans to in the future.Hardcover: 192 pages Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc (September 1, 1991) Language: English ISBN-10: 0393029077 ISBN-13: 978-0393029079 Product Dimensions: 10.2 x 0.8 x 11.2 inches Shipping Weight: 2.8 pounds
