This book written by Scott Trostel, is an excellent look at the history of the railroad that Henry Ford owned at one time.
It discusses various incidents that happened over time, locomotive rosters, the people who worked on the railroad, and other items of interests, that anyone who enjoys history/railroads should enjoy.

This book goes way beyond your typical railroad book. This is an outstanding corporate history that happens to be about a railroad that went through a succession of owners and finally gelled under the ownership and guidance of Henry Ford. It is filled with text, stories, maps and photos that demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of a railroad in America. Every business library and college archive should have a copy without exception. This book is a must have for every railroad buff. If you don't spend a penny for another book, buy this one!
