Over the last few years we’ve put some really nice train and railroad books on the shelf, but the one that caught my eye was just published this year. The black background and colorful logos of North American Rails just pop. The book doesn’t disappoint, either. After an introduction that’s more like an abbreviated history of railroads, the book goes alphabetically through the top 100 most historically significant railroad lines. The best part of the book, however, is the photos — everything from black-and-white images of steam trains and turn-of-the-century advertisements to fully labeled railway maps and gorgeous full-color modern trains.
