All I know is that I went looking for this book and after many attempts to find it, I was able to find it on Amazon. The information they gave ne was accurate. It came from a third party and it got to me as advertised. I read it and now use for reference. The information is accurate from what I know about the subject. It is a good source of information if you like railroads.some of the stories have other interpretations, but this volume has completeness going for it.

A great book of railroad history and tales. I particularly liked the Appendix where the history of the "Tangle of Gages" is told. Something for every railfan in this book.

Great Book. An education for railroad fans and buffs. It's a large book, and takes some solid reading, but illustrates a side of railroading not usually seen, known about, or even guessed at. I'm looking forward to having time left from reading it to google a lot of the references in it. Buy It! You won't be disappointed..
