beautiful and informative
A wonderful book for anyone interested in the golden age of American railroads: the streamlined era of the 1940's and 50's. It is hard to imagine an age when our railroads were the envy of the world in terms of luxury and speed. Now we cannot touch the Japanese and European trains.
Beautiful pictures of trains, individual cars of all varieties. First-rate production values, photographic reproduction, floor plans, text.
But mainly, I just love to look at the pictures and dream of being on one of those 'name' streamliners once again.
