Ghost Railroads of Indiana
|
| By : Elmer Griffith Sulzer |
First printed in 1970, Elmer Sulzer's magisterial study of the abandoned railroads of Indiana quickly proved itself invaluable to the serious student of Railroading. Packed with hundreds of photos, maps, and charts and four-color paintings by Norman C. Miller, Jr., Ghost Railroads of Indiana provides much more than the simple enumeration of track closings.

Ghost Railroads of Kentucky
|
| By : Elmer Griffith Sulzer |
Ghost Railroads of Kentucky (first published in 1967) and its two sister volumes, Ghost Railroads of Indiana (1970) and Ghost Railroads of Tennessee (1975), provide the authoritative account of the abandoned lines in the railroad heartland east of the Mississippi. No mere compilation of dry statistics on track closings and running schedules (though they are here too!), this book is full of the life and vigor of Kentucky's economic arteries. Professor Sulzer, a consummate storyteller, recounts the human drama surrounding these ghost lines.

Ghost Railroads of Tennessee
|
| By : Elmer G. Sulzer |
Professor Sulzer introduces us to both the mighty and the humble lines that once traversed this important railroad state. Here we meet Tennessee's own Nashville & Chattanooga (later called the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis) and the Tennessee Central. We also come across the Dummy Line, the Jerkwater, and the Tweetsie. We follow the story as 4,078 miles of rail in 1920 dwindles to 2,969 by 1975. But this is not a mere compilation of dry statistics on track closings and running schedules. It is a book full of the life and vigor of Tennessee's economic arteries.

Historic Railroads of Nebraska
|
| By : Michael M. Bartels, James J. Reisdorff |
The advance of Union Pacific Railroad tracklayers across Nebraska was part of Americaís great adventure of the 19th century. It marked the beginning of the era of the ìiron horseî in Nebraskaóa time when the whistle of an approaching train became synonymous with prosperity and contact with the outside world. Historic Railroads of Nebraska takes a photographic journey down the tracks of the five major railroads and various short lines that helped Nebraska progress into a national center of agriculture and business. The trip begins with the formative years of Nebraska towns that were established along railroad lines in the 19th century. It then travels through the 20th century and documents the major changes and challenges that the railroad industry faced. Through over 200 photographs, this book chronicles the era of streamlined passenger trains, rustic steam locomotives, and a bustling Omaha Union Station. The journey makes stops at railroad landmarks, significant cities, the stateís only railroad tunnel, and the legendary North Platte Canteen.
