Product Information

The history of railroading in North America is as much a story of boardroom intrigue as it is a story of the brute force that stamped thousands of miles of train track across a rugged continent. Today’s nine U.S. and Canadian Class I railroads are the result of well over a century of convoluted bankruptcies, mergers, acquisitions, and expansions. Presented in a clear, graphic format, this book helps railfans make sense of the many smaller train lines that shaped North American rail as it is today. Brian Solomon’s visual and chronological approach presents 50 family trees beginning with the Golden Age in the 1890s. A selection of maps trace the evolution of the North American rail system.
