4.0 out of 5 stars
Compact but thorough,
This review is from: Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania Trail of History Guides) (Paperback)
A handy guide to the history of railroads and their impact on the state of PA, and not just to the museum itself. Great pictures and detailed descriptions of the various types of locomotives and rolling stock make this a book that transcends its immediate subject.
