Black cloth on boards. Normal cover corner wear. No writing. I read only the first chapter, which waxes eloquently on the achievements of the Vanderbilts, especially the New York Central System. My father worked for that outfit until he fell from an engine catwalk and injured his spine. Misdiagnosed as a polio victim, he was shipped to Sheltering Arms in St. Paul for six months. He got back to work in time to be layed off due to the switch from steam to diesel, after which he worked only on call. Still, the New York Central is linked with happy memories of a trip to Cleveland for baseball, amo... View more info

Original rust cloth on boards. No marks or damage. The first of a two-volume set. This thick, heavy book might appear to be overwhelming at first glance, but after thumbing through it I think it could be an enjoyable and informative read. A scarcity of illustrations has left more room for informative text, which is lively and direct. One can visualize the bitter quarrels, the endless maneuvers, and demanding physical requirements resulting in a new system of overland transport. Imagine having your local railroad amalgamated into a nationwide system, headquartered far away. The author mak... View more info
