Reviews

“A treat to browse through. . . . An authoritative documentation of a long-gone era, the book brings to life ancient steam locomotives, railroads, and rolling stock that have mostly disappeared without trace.”— New York Times Book Review


Only a handful of books in the field of railroad history have become the standard reference work in a particular area. . . . To those select volumes should be added American Narrow Gauge Railroads . . . . This is an excellent work, and the author and publisher both deserve accolades. -- Railroad History <br>
