The tale of the development of the passenger train in America and its evolution over the past 170 years is a compelling one. This in-depth study, from the first tentative operations such as the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company, to the glory years of John "Casey" Jones, through to today’s 150 mile-per-hour express trains, covers the full story of the great American passenger trains. Contains famous trains, obscure and work-a-day trains, steam, diesel and electric locomotives; wood cars, steel cars, lightweight streamline rolling stock and U.S. bullet trains. Includes Canadian rail history as well.
