Reviews
This book, along with Volume 1..., belongs in the library of every serious rail historian.
No detail that is too insignificant to be omitted... as long as it had something to do with railroading.
Each map is carefully produced in exquisite detail... I give it the highest possible recommendation.
Carpenter has done an outstanding job showing the railroad world of 1946.
An incredible wealth of information.
A fine addition to any rail fan's library, perfect for a long winter evening.
An impressive accomplishment and will likely be well loved and well used by rail buffs and historians.
Where railroads first began and proliferated... I have never seen such complete coverage of railroads in any single document.
