Customer Reviews

Great reference for families of railfans

Our son is an absolute rail junkie, and nothing makes him happier than seeing a real steamie (Diesels don't count apparently, we have those at home). We found this books while visiting a rail museum (which we found by chance) when we were on vacation. On that trip we also learned of a bigger better one that was near by, but because we didn't know to plan time for it we didn't get to visit it. I'm really excited we did find this book, it includes all sorts of tourist lines all over the country. We were surprised to learn of two steamie lines within a hour or two of home. Not to mention many more all over the country. We're looking forward planning to add rail museums and train rides on future vacations. Hopefully with advance planning we won't have near misses with other great museums and train lines. The other reviewer has a point, in that the information is very terse. Giving a simple description of the company, however with the websites listed you can generally find much more, and more up to date information.
