| Ghost Railroads of Nebraska: A Pictorial |
| By : Michael M. Bartels, James Reisdorff |
Ghost Railroads of Nebraska recounts the decline of many of the steel roads that once tied Nebraska cities and villages together in ceonomic prosperity. Using historic and contemporary photos, railroad historians Bartels and Reisdorff examine both the history and impact of railroad abandonments on rural Nebraska. An inventory is made of the corporate giants, short lines, interurbans and industrial spurs that were all part of the state's rail network, which once spanned 6,250 miles. The book also illustrates the historial artifacts that have been preserved -- and lost -- along the abandonded grades of Nebraska's "ghost" railroads.
