8 of North America's Scenic & Historic Landscapes -- by Rail
1 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
TRAINS Magazine says this book is top-notch reading for anyone who has heard the call of the rails, and I have to agree.
The rail adventures profiled in this volume celebrate the beauty, history, and romance of railway travel. View coastlines, canyons, mountains, rushing rivers, Native villages and world-class cities. This book is for anyone who has a passion for riding the rails and for the curious. Come take an armchair ride on The Alaska Railroad, The Adirondack, view Copper Canyon, The American Rockies, The Canadian Rockies, ride the West Coast's Coast Starlight, ride the rails through the American South, and thrill to the narrow gage Gold Rush Train out of Skagway --
enjoy your own Great American Rail Journey. GREAT GIFT!

Attractive TV tie-in book
26 April 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a very attractive book with some lovely photographs, but it is (as indeed the description states) a book to accompany the PBS TV series. Thus the narrative and (very appealing) photographs) reflect that. So anyone looking to buy / read this as a basis for their own travels on American rail trips won't find this particularly useful. Otherwise it's a lovely coffee table book.

Very highly recommended for railroad buffs.
5 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
This companion to the PBS program is a fine armchair read for any fascinated by railroads and travel: it takes a cross-country trip behind the scenes of American roads, presenting eight chapters which celebrate multi-day rail journeys. Rail history and scenery alike are presented in colorful, photo-packed chapters.
