Faces of Railroading Portraits of America's Greatest Industry 4

Faces of Railroading Portraits of America’s Greatest Industry By: Carl A. Swanson

A glorious photographic tribute to the people who made railroading the greatest industry America has ever known, this book celebrates those who made the nation’s railroads the envy of the world. Although its magnificent machines and inventions are often romanticized and celebrated alongside its most eccentric pioneers and tycoons, it is the faces of an unsung workforce that best personify this great industry. Readers will glimpse their own family history as they join train crews in the locomotive cab and at the back of the caboose. Ideal for rail enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone with an appreciation for evocative black and white photography.
