John H. White, Jr., formerly Curator of Transportation at the Smithsonian Institution, has written eight books and more than one hundred articles on American railroad technology.
"A monumental work--truly a work of love...The historian, the researcher, the admirer of railway lore, the builder of model train sets, the restorer of a classic railway vehicle...will now spend the rest of their lives poring over Mr. White's words and his nearly 800 photographs and schematic cutaway drawings."--'New York Times' "First-class."--'Model Railway Constructor' "Well worth the price of the ticket."--'Baltimore Sun' "The Super Chief of railroad books."--'Chicago Sun-Times' "[A] beautifully produced volume...The real treat, however, is in White's informative and often entertaining narrative analysis of technological change."--'Journal of American History'
