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.
