Product Description
America’s long romance with the train has been the theme of many books, but none has used contemporary maps to comprehensively illustrate the tale. Until now. Here the latest of Derek Hayes’s past atlases delves into the history of the railroad in North America, from its origins in Britain in the 1820s and fleeting lines connecting Eastern Seaboard rivers in the 1830s to Amtrak and the modern intermodal freights driving today’s railroad revival. Colorful and informative, the book covers a vast range of topics and offers an impressive array of types of railroad map, from the purely utilitarian to the gorgeously promotional. Nearly 400 ancient railroad maps, most in full color, plus many past photos, brochures, and posters, combine to provide a new perspective on the North American railroad. Past Atlas of the North American Railroad also clarifies how the railroad transformed the economic and social life of a continent, fundamentally changing the two North American nations it linked from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
