Railroads (The Chicago History of American Civilization)
by John F. Stover
A fascinating account of the rise, decline, and rebirth of railroads
in the United States, John F. Stover's American Railroads traces their
history from the first lines that helped eastern seaports capture western
markets to today's newly revitalized industry. Stover describes the growth
of the railroads' monopoly, with the consequent need for state and federal
regulations; relates the vital part played by the railroads during the
Civil War and the two World Wars; and charts the railroads' decline due
to the advent of air travel and trucking during the 1950s. Amazon.com

Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad (Railroad Color History)
by Kirk Reynolds, Dave Oroszi
Book Description Formed in 1828, the Baltimore & Ohio was
America's first railroad. In the 20th century, the B&O gained notoriety
for great passenger trains like the Capitol Limited, innovative technology,
and a flair for aesthetic touches. This authoritative and highly visual
retrospective spans the railroad's entire history through its current operation
in the form of CSX Transportation. Color photography, both period and modern,
along with rare archival photos, depict B&O memorabilia, promotional
materials and, of course, the trains themselves. Detailed information on
the company's history, trains, passenger cars, and rolling stock make this
an ideal reference for B&O enthusiasts, modelers, and general railroad
historians.

Nothing
Like It in the World : The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad
1863-1869
by Stephen E. Ambrose
Abraham Lincoln, who had worked as a riverboat pilot before turning
to politics, knew a thing or two about the problems of transporting goods
and people from place to place. He was also convinced that the United States
would flourish only if its far-flung regions were linked, replacing sectional
loyalties with an overarching sense of national destiny. Building a transcontinental
railroad, writes the prolific historian Stephen Ambrose, was second only
to the abolition of slavery on Lincoln's presidential agenda. Through an
ambitious program of land grants and low-interest government loans, he
encouraged entrepreneurs such as California's "Big Four"--Charles Crocker,
Collis Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Leland Stanford--to take on the task
of stringing steel rails from ocean to ocean. The real work of doing so,
of course, was on the shoulders of immigrant men and women, mostly Chinese
and Irish. These often-overlooked actors and what a contemporary called
their "dreadful vitality" figure prominently in Ambrose's narrative, alongside
the great financiers and surveyors who populate the standard textbooks.
In the end, Ambrose writes, Lincoln's dream transformed the nation, marking
"the first great triumph over time and space" and inaugurating what has
come to be known as the American Century. David Haward Bain's Empire Express,
which covers the same ground, is more substantial, but Ambrose provides
an eminently readable study of a complex episode in American history. --Gregory
