1.Classic American Railroads (Boxed Set)Classic American Railroads (Boxed Set)
from Motorbooks International
Price: $30.39

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.

Customer Review:
A good overview of the many different types of bridge construction. As Soloman states in his intro, this is not a definitive encyclopedia of bridge engineering, but an easily read and understood explanation of the many different types of construction.

from Indiana University Press
Price: $69.97

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

from Stanford University Press
Price: $21.80

Customer Review:
The Erie Lackawanna, whose main line was New York-Chicago, was one of the more interesting US railroads. It was originally laid with a wider-than-standard track gauge, had wider clearances than competing railroads, and had unusually mild gradients, at least in Indiana and western Ohio. However,... more info

8.Railroads and American LawRailroads and American Law
from University Press of Kansas

Customer Review:
This fine book is, as Herbert Hovenkamp has called it, "a monumental achievement." If Ely has missed a connection between railroad law and any other important topic in American legal history, I am unaware of it--everything from the use of slaves to build railroads to insolvency, receiverships, and... more info
