A Railroad Enthusiast's Dream!

Henry A. Harter has written one of those rare and unique books that comletely and exhaustively decribes the history and details of one of the most fabled railroads in the world. Not only do you read about the rich and famous that helped build this railroad (and all of it's privately owned spurs), but there are detailed plans showing locations and gauges of all the lengths of rails. Long gone RR stations are described in location and historical function. Although it can be a tad dry sometimes, one never loses the feeling of romantism regarding this great period of history.I certainly hope that someone writes and updated version of this railroad including all the political and natural circumstances that have affected it since it went into disrepair after the 1980 Olympics. Until then, nothing matches this marvelously ,heavily researched book.
