Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Reprint edition. xxviii, [2], 456 pages. Frontis illustrations. Illustrations. Maps. Charts. Index. Introduction by Thomas M. Cooley (Chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission). This work was first published in 1888 and this reprint is from the 1897 edition. DJ has some wear, soiling, edge tears and chips. The American Railway provides an exciting look at the railroad industry in the 1880s and how it developed as the business boomed. Originally published in 1888, it contains a thorough history of how railroads were built, the types of railways, the lives of railway workers, the various ways the railway affected political and business economics, as well as the safety precautions of people who rode or worked with the railway system. You'll also find more than two hundred hand-drawn illustrations-visual representations of great steam engines, graceful bridges, life in a Pullman car, railway accidents, views of track construction, and portraits of railroad pioneers and magnates of the times-and stories from real rail workers. Learn how far we've come from such humble beginnings and grow to have a newfound appreciation for the railways that paved our country's future.
