A few days ago, a neighbor perused the local library book sale. He picked up an almost new copy of "The Trains We Rode", almost new for a dollar. He handed it to me and said, "Merry Christmas" Mentioning that he thought it was probably not worth the bother, without saying so I agreed .... however, I graciously accepted.
Wow! What a great book almost a thousand pages. Chapters on most major American railroads, probably 2500 photos or illustrations with concise paragraphs after each. I will have many hours on the couch with a whisky at hand to enjoy this read.
Out of curiosity I looked it up on Amazon. $4.00. This would make a fabulous stocking stuffer.
