DESCRIPTION:
Wish I had paid attention to the other reviews Bought this book for a train buff. The photos are nice, but as others said, the type is EXTREMELY difficult to read. This significantly impacted the enjoyment of this book. I would not recommend it for anyone with less than sharp vision.. Jimbob said Steam Trains. Nice book with lots of B&W pictures.

The result is the crisp, stunning quality of contemporary photography - reproduced in highest-quality duotone prints - of the iconic locomotives of yesteryear. Featured trains include the Milwaukee Road; the Cumbres and Toltec snowplow runs; the Cotton Belt 819 in Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois; the Savannah and Atlanta No
