RAILROADS
ACROSS AMERICA
A CELEBRATION OF 150 YEARS OF RAILROADING
by
MIKE DEL VECCHIO
 
This comprehensive photographic history is arranged by eight geographical regions to present the grand saga of railroading in the United States and Canada — from the earliest days of steam locomotives, through the dawn of the diesel era and modern freight and passenger trains. Railroads Across America begins with a brief examination of the railways that operated in the eastern United States prior to the completion of transcontinental tracks. Author Mike Del Vecchio then goes on to explain and illustrate how regional railroads were built and operated, and the companies, trains, and people that were associated with each region's railroad industry. The result is a handsome edition featuring photography from the nation's finest collections and some of the subject's greatest photographers, past and present. Modern photography depicts the timeless imagery of perfectly preserved equipment, much of it still in operative condition 
This beautiful book is in Very Good condition. No writing, torn, folded or missing pages. Cover boards and spine are straight, shows minor rub wear. Dust jacket is in fair condition with wear and tears.
