1.Classic American RailroadsClassic American Railroads
from MBI
Price: $11.55

Customer Review:
Being sofa bound for a week this was a sanity saver. It inevitably is not an in depth history of each railroad but as a large collection of colour images of American railroading with good background information its a steal. The box set even more so compared with buying the individual books.

2.Historical Atlas Of North American RailroadsHistorical Atlas Of North American Railroads
from Chartwell Books, Inc.
Price: $19.79

Customer Review:
First, a word of warning ... This is not really an atlas. It's really just a history of American railroading, with lots of maps throw in.
Like the other reviewers, I was struck by the number of errors. In fact, I found this one of the sloppiest books I've ever read. My particular favorite was... more info

3.North American Railroad BridgesNorth American Railroad Bridges
from Voyageur Press
Price: $23.85

Customer Review:

4.Railroads in the African American Experience: A Photographic JourneyRailroads in the African American Experience: A Photographic Journey
from The Johns Hopkins University Press
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:
So often we discover hundreds of years later the cost others paid for life as we know it. It's like turning a cube and looking at ideas from another side to see a whole new story emerge. Remember discovering the effect Columbus had on the Indians when Europe pounced on the New World? Why did we not... more info

from Indiana University Press
Price: $58.97

Customer Review:
Had no details on my major interest--the accident of January 1853 that was fatal to President-elect Franklin Pierce's only surviving son, Benny. Accident was not included in table of significant accidents. Accidents were too numerous and routine in effect, for all to be included. As Middleton points... more info
