| America's Rail Pictorial: Pictorial |
| By : Russ Porter |
From the 1950s through the 1970s, a dramatic move to upgrade railroad property and equipment led to sweeping changes in the industry. Those changes are reflected in this colorful tribute to American rails and the streamlining that occurred during this period. Author Russ Porter, who has photographed American railways for more than 50 years, takes his readers on a trek that captures all the romance of steam and diesel locomotives, passenger and freight trains, and gas-electrics. From the small Chicago & Western Indiana to main lines like the Northern Pacific, this sampling of Porters work preserves the essence of each line throughout the decades photographed.
