Spreading out from their foothold on the eastern seaboard they crossed the Mississippi, linked the Atlantic and the Pacific and opened up the west to an eager tide of settlers. Towns and cities grew up in their wake, industry thrived on the raw materials they carried; they became a great industry in themselves, employing hundreds of thousands of men and making fortunes for some; they were the basis for the wealth and power of modern America. More recent years have seen a sad decline, with many famous lines facing bankruptcy, but through reorganization and government intervention they are adapting to a changing world. North American Railways covers the whole 150-year history of the world's most formidable transport system, from the pioneering days of the last century to the age of Amtrak and Conrail, with special chapters covering the individual railroads and the major steam locomotives. The heroic feats of the builders and machinations of the `robber barons', the glamour of the great passenger trains and the workaday grind of the mighty freights are described and illustrated in a fascinating record of human enterprise and technological progress.
