At its postwar peak, the North American railroad industry comprised as many as 100 lines.
The classic system maps produced by the railroads of the day, collected in this volume, offer a view of the industry’s remarkable reach in the period of its greatest power.
Each railroad’s routes unfold in multi-page spreads featuring a capsule history, vital specs such as track mileage and years of operation, and period photographs, all detailing the mid-twentieth-century might of North American railroads.
