America's long romance with the train has been the subject of many
books, but none has used contemporary maps to comprehensively
illustrate the story. Until now. Here the latest of Derek Hayes's
historical atlases delves into the history of the railroad in North
America, from its origins in Britain in the 1820s and short 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 old
railroad maps, most in full color, plus many historical photos,
brochures, and posters, combine to provide a new perspective on the
North American railroad. "Historical Atlas of the North American
Railroad" also explains 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.
