by John F. Stover
A fascinating account of the rise, decline, and rebirth of railroads in the United States, John F. Stover's American Railroads traces their history from the first lines that helped eastern seaports capture western markets to today's newly revitalized industry. Stover describes the growth of the railroads' monopoly, with the consequent need for state and federal regulations; relates the vital part played by the railroads during the Civil War and the two World Wars; and charts the railroads' decline due to the advent of air travel and trucking during the 1950s.

by Kirk Reynolds, Dave Oroszi
Book Description Formed in 1828, the Baltimore & Ohio was America's first railroad. In the 20th century, the B&O gained notoriety for great passenger trains like the Capitol Limited, innovative technology, and a flair for aesthetic touches. This authoritative and highly visual retrospective spans the railroad's entire history through its current operation in the form of CSX Transportation. Color photography, both period and modern, along with rare archival photos, depict B&O memorabilia, promotional materials and, of course, the trains themselves. Detailed information on the company's history, trains, passenger cars, and rolling stock make this an ideal reference for B&O enthusiasts, modelers, and general railroad historians.

The Old Somerset Railroad: A Lifeline for Northern Mainers
Nothing Like It in the World : The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad 1863-1869
by Stephen E. Ambrose
Abraham Lincoln, who had worked as a riverboat pilot before turning to politics, knew a thing or two about the problems of transporting goods and people from place to place. He was also convinced that the United States would flourish only if its far-flung regions were linked, replacing sectional loyalties with an overarching sense of national destiny. Building a transcontinental railroad, writes the prolific historian Stephen Ambrose, was second only to the abolition of slavery on Lincoln's presidential agenda. Through an ambitious program of land grants and low-interest government loans, he encouraged entrepreneurs such as California's "Big Four"--Charles Crocker, Collis Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Leland Stanford--to take on the task of stringing steel rails from ocean to ocean. The real work of doing so, of course, was on the shoulders of immigrant men and women, mostly Chinese and Irish. These often-overlooked actors and what a contemporary called their "dreadful vitality" figure prominently in Ambrose's narrative, alongside the great financiers and surveyors who populate the standard textbooks. In the end, Ambrose writes, Lincoln's dream transformed the nation, marking "the first great triumph over time and space" and inaugurating what has come to be known as the American Century. David Haward Bain's Empire Express, which covers the same ground, is more substantial, but Ambrose provides an eminently readable study of a complex episode in American history. --Gregory McNamee - Amazon.com
