Great Trains of North America by Patrick Bruce Whitehouse Pdf
The story of railroads in North America is also a history of the development of two great nations: the United States and Canada. The coming of the railway made possible the rapid expansion and growth of the two countries in the nineteenth century, and today railroads form an important commercial network over the continent. This book traces the colourful history of the great trains and railroads from the beginnings to the present, and looks at the possibilities for the future. It describes important railroads such as the Penn Central, Burlington Northern and the Union Pacific in the United States, and the CNR and CPR in Canada. Some of the giants of American steam -- the 4-4-0, Camelback, Mother Hubbard and Mallet -- are recalled, and famous trains and coaches like the Twentieth Century Ltd. and the Hawatha are included. The reader is taken along the important tourist railways of America and is given a look into the probable future of North American trains, when concepts such as automatic wagon identification, piggyback operations and crewless locomotives will be an integral part of the railroad scene.
This richly illustrated encyclopedia of classic and contemporary railroads features histories of 101 U.S. and Canadian railroads past and present. It is the go-to resource for railfans of all stripes.
The History of American Railroads (No. 06003) by John Brian Hollingsworth Pdf
The story of the railways of North America is also a history of the development of two great nations: the United States and Canada. The coming of the railroad made the rapid expansion and growth of the two countries possible in the 19th century, and today railroads form a vital network across the continent. By the 1930s railways reached their pinnacle of development: some 15,000 passenger trains departed each day. By the time Amtrak was established in 1971, many famous names like the Super Chief, the Twentieth Century Limited and the California Zephyr had disappeared, perhaps forever. After years of decline, the late 1970s and early 1980s have seen U.S. and Canadian railroads showing signs of recovering, albeit slowly. The book covers the very latest equipment and rolling stock and explains how the consolidation of the railroad companies has made them more efficient.
