Reviews

"Only a handful of books in the field of railroad history have become the standard reference work in a particular area... To those select volumes should be added American Narrow Gauge Railroads... This is an excellent work, and the author and publisher both deserve accolades." - Railroad History "Every so often, a book is published that deserves to be called a landmark... American Narrow Gauge Railroads is probably the first of such caliber for the '90s." - Railfan and Railroad "It should be hailed as a classic... A book that belongs on the shelves of any person who cares about railroad history." - National Railway Bulletin "A treat to browse through... An authoritative documentation of a long-gone era, the book brings to life ancient steam locomotives, railroads, and rolling stock that have mostly disappeared without trace." - New York Times Book Review
