5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect gift for railroading enthusiasts, May 17, 2009
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Trains still run wild in the imagination, even as society pushes them to the side for other methods. Now in a newly updated and expanded second edition, "Tourist Trains Guidebook" is a guide to the world of the train throughout the United States and Canada. Covering train sites from still active railroads, historic train-related sites, top dinner cars that still run today, museums, and so much more, it presents more than four hundred and fifty articles to whet the appetite of any train lover. "Tourist Trains Guidebook" is the perfect gift for railroading enthusiasts, as well as vacation and/or business travelers.
