The Romance of Modern Railways (Classic Reprint) by Thomas W. Corbin Pdf
Excerpt from The Romance of Modern Railways Most middle-aged men of to-day can remember the time when their one boyish ambition was to be an engine-driver; but their sons found a rival interest in the flying machine and desired above all things to be airmen. Flying and flying machines, however, have not and cannot have so many interesting features as are to be found upon engines and trains, with the result that the interest has swung back to the railway, and most boys of to-day are as keen about them as ever their fathers were. It is for such boys that this book is intended more than anyone else, but it is hoped, nevertheless, that it may make an even wider appeal. The writer knows an uncle who regularly buys a certain boys' periodical. He buys it, of course, to give to his nephew, but his friends notice that he always reads it through himself first, and, although this book may be intended for the sons and nephews, it is quite possible that some fathers and uncles may find it to their liking. The writing of it has been a labour of love, and if all readers get the same pleasure in reading it which the writer got in writing it, it is going to add largely to the sum of human happiness.

American transportation has undergone many technological revolutions: from sailing ships to steam ships; from passenger trains and urban rail transit to airplanes and automobiles. Normally, the government has allowed and even encouraged these revolutions, but for some reason the federal government is spending billions of dollars trying to preserve and build obsolete rail transit and passenger train lines, including high-speed trains that cost more but are less than half as fast as flying. O'Toole asks why passenger trains have been singled out -- and whether this policy makes sense. -- adapted from jacket
