This review is from: Tourist Trains Guidebook (Paperback)
Bought this book because we are going to be travelling throughout the US and we both love trains. Used it this past week in Northern CA on Skunk Train and Napa Wine Train. Information was absolutely spot on. Fantastic reference guide to any train you can find. Also the discounts the first time we used it more than paid for the book.

This review is from: Tourist Trains Guidebook (Paperback)
This book must cover every rescued train depot, museum and foot of track still in existence in this country. It would be wonderful to keep in the car for a cross-country trip. I passed it on to an RVing train "phreak".
