This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several guidebooks for locating tourist railroads and train museums, but few if any provide anything more than a simple address. This e-book guide provides the user with a 'Turn-by-Turn' road guide w/GPS from the closest Interstate junction to the destination. The guide is for the western states and part of Canada, and it shows the names and addresses, but also Cautions, the permanent closures, and the sites that have different names for the same site. The guide has sample descriptions from the Official websites when possible, and the author's notes about many of the sites. Although GPS of each intersection is provided, a person that does not have GPS can easily follow the road turn-by-turn descriptions. There are over 150 sites listed for the 13 states and Canada. If you like railroads, then a trip out west can keep you occupied for weeks, if not months.
Download or read book America s Great Railroad Stations written by Roger Straus and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An evocative and stunning photographic tribute to America's railroad stations. For much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the railroad station or depot was the communal hub of every American town that could boast of train service. There, citizens gathered before they sent loved ones off to college, marriage, or war-and where they greeted them on their return. Most of these buildings were architectural gems, and while many are still in service, certain others now house museums, banks, restaurants, and more. In fact, in cities like Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, renovated stations are destinations unto themselves even for those not boarding the train. And in other places, whole sections of towns have been remade around these structures, restoring their vitality in novel and interesting ways long after the last train has left the station. In America's Great Railroad Stations, award-winning photographer Roger Straus III, and two lifelong railroad buffs, Ed Breslin and Hugh Van Dusen, join forces to tell the astonishing story of these enduring structures and the important role they still play in the country's landscape. Journeying from the Pennsylvania Railroad to the Union Pacific to Michigan Central and more, readers will be dazzled by the Beaux Arts monuments of New York and the adobe buildings of the Southwest. Filled with both new and archival photographs and drawings, this volume is a glorious salute to the institution that transformed our nation.
