DESCRIPTION:
Good Value and a Good Read G. Canton Being sofa bound for a week this was a sanity saver. It inevitably is not an in depth history of each railroad but as a large collection of colour images of American railroading with good background information its a steal. The box set even more so compared with buying the individual books.
Most have disappeared or merged into the super railroads of today, but these fallen flags are fondly remembered. Since then, hundreds and hundreds of railroad companies have been born. The Classic American Railroads gift set chronicles 44 of America and Canadas most loved railroads from the golden age. Railroads have been part of the American way of life since 1828 when Americas first common-carrier railroad, the Baltimore Ohio, laid its first rail. Here together in one boxed set are three railroad classics: Classic American Railroad, More Classic American Railroads, and Classic American Railroads, Volume III.
