4.0 out of 5 stars Guide to Tourist Railroads and Museums 35th Edition, August 5, 2000

This review is from: Guide to Tourist Railroads and Museums: 2000 Edition (Guide to Tourist Railroads and Museums, 35th ed.) (Paperback)

The books listings are sorted by state with details categorized as follows: Description, Operating Schedule, Admission/Fare, Locomotives/Rolling Stock, Nearby Attractions/Accomidations, Location/Directions, Site Address, Mailing Address, Phone #, Email and Web URL.

The book appears to be fairly comprehensive in that it lists the more significant rail attractions in a particular state. However, I'm not convinced that it references all attractions. I was hoping that it would provide a more detailed historical perspective, for each entry, but at least the web site URL is provided where more detailed information can be obtained.

Overall, I'm happy with the publication. It is an easy way to pinpoint rail destinations while traveling through different areas of the country. I've already got a few new destinations in mind. Definetely reccomend taking this book on vacation or keeping it in the glove box.
