| This Train Is Bound for Glory: The Story of America's Chapel Cars |
| By : Wilma Rugh Taylor, Norman Thomas Taylor |
This extraordinary work tells the history of thirteen "churches on wheels" commissioned by the Baptist, Episcopal, and Roman Catholic churches to travel throughout the Western United States during the half-century between the 1890s and the 1930s. This story of America's chapel cars is a must-have resource for any train, railroad, or church enthusiast. The Taylors' exhaustive resource includes spectacular photography, train logs, historical data about the towns of the train routes, and in-depth information from survivors and descendants of those who experienced the chapel cars' missions firsthand --- all providing for extraordinary glimpses into these mission-bound vehicles.
