This generously illustrated narrative follows the evolution of
dozens of separate railroads in the Meridian, Mississippi, area
from the destruction of the town s rail facilities in the 1850s
through the current era of large-scale consolidation. Presently,
there are only seven mega-size rail systems in the United States,
three of which serve Meridian, making it an important junction on
one of the nation's four major transcontinental routes. The recent
creation of a nationally prominent high-speed freight line between
Meridian and Shreveport, the "Meridian Speedway," has allowed the
Union Pacific, Kansas City Southern, and Norfolk Southern railroads
to offer the shortest rail route across the continent for
Asia-US-Europe transportation."
