| American Railroads of the Nineteenth Century: A Pictorial History in Victorian Wood Engravings |
| By : Jim Harter |
With accompanying text, American Railroads of the Nineteenth Century traces the development and growth of rail lines across the country. It also details the corresponding evolution of street railway systems, including horsecars, cable cars, and trolleys. Harter also provides history and images on such themes as Civil War railroads; passenger, mail, and freight service; labor disputes; urban mass transit systems; and train disasters. Perhaps no other book gives such a complete overview of nineteenth-century American railroading.
