Big Book about a Big Idea

It started with 16 miles of track connecting the Hudson and Mohawk rivers, and grew into one of our country's largest and most prestigious systems. This is the system that hosted the "Twentieth Century Limited," a train as exotic and celebrated as the Orient Express - and it was sometimes called the American Orient Express. We learn here of the meaning of the "Water Level Route" and how significant that was for passenger safety and comfort, and of how the endless competition with the Pennsylvania Railroad was finally resolved. It's a great book, with over 100 rare pictures of this exciting rail history chapter.
