Focusing on the architecture and evolution of the railway station over 100 years of changing designs,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Railway Stations: From the Gare de L'est to Penn Station (Hardcover)
Railway fans always receive plenty of train books to contemplate - this offers a difference, focusing on the architecture and evolution of the railway station over 100 years of changing designs. Sixteen stations in nine countries are examined with an eye to considering historical precedent, the evolution of railway architecture, and the influence of station design on rail operations. Gorgeous, oversized full-page color photos capture the stations in profile, add charts where appropriate, and provides an exceptional visual display. Perfect not just for rail buffs, but for fans of transportation architecture in general.

This review is from: Railway Stations: From the Gare de L'est to Penn Station (Hardcover)
The book, on its introduction, presents a valuable history of railway stations, and explain us how and why the station buildings changed over the last century. There are sexteen very well selected examplas of railway stations to study and further understand the basics behind them.
