The last great American railroad.
For anyone intertested in the zenith of steam
railway operation in America, this book is vital.
The style, the photo quality and the content
generally are of a very high order.
As an engineer I found the descriptions of
heavy casting and machining methods
utterly enthralling; to think that, at one time,
this country was world-renowned for heavy
engineering and to see it now is hard to bear.
Seek this book out - as an American might say (and be right!) "Awesome". Uncle Mac.
