This remarkable book makes use of the very best black-and-white railroad photographs from this period, taken directly from the Library of Congress. Diverse images show everything from main line and branch railroading to electric operations.

Each photograph has been restored to perfection and appears with the photographer?s original caption. AUTHOR: Joe P. Gaston, Mark S.
