Synopsis
The years between the end of World War II and the mid-1960s saw a flowering of railroad photography in America, particularly that which captured the railroads at night. Starlight on the Rails, a stylish and moving book of gorgeous duotone photography, offers a poetic glimpse of silent stations, lonely motormen, and the last great steam engines.

About the Author
Jeff Brouws grew up around the San Francisco Bay area, simultaneously discovering trains, photography, and the writings of Jack Kerouac (who was a brakeman for the Southern Pacific in the early 1950s) at the age of thirteen. His photographic work has been published in several books, including Railroading West (1976) and Highway: America's Endless Dream (1997). Edward Delvers grew up in Japan at a time when steam was still king. After his family returned to the United States, he traveled the country photographing trains through the late 1960s, then studied photographic science at MIT under the tutelage of Dr. Harold Edgerton. He has made a career in numerous fields, ranging from energy research to satellite communications to aviation, meanwhile maintaining photography as a passion.
Review
"Although O. Winston Link's work is well known, this volume displays his unsung colleagues whose visual poetry memorializes an aspect of American life that many remember with fondness."
