Great Collection of Pictures,

This review is from: Florida Railroads in the 1920s (FL) (Images of Rail) (Paperback)
In the 1920's Florida was successful at marketing itself as the place to vacation away from the winter snow. Transportation in those days was by train, and Florida had three major lines: The Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line, and the Florida East Coast.
This book, one of a series from the same publisher, is part history, and part memories. The memories come from a huge collection of photographs, menus, advertisements, maps and other things from the time and the railroads. This is a beautiful collection that makes you wonder where they could have found so many relevent pictures. Florida rail played an important part of the history of rail in the 1920's. They were extremely active in promoting Florida, establishing a custom that continues today. In fact, Amtrak still operates train service to Miami over some of the same routes depicted in this book. Recommended to rail buffs and Florida historians. |
