Amtrak - By Brian Solomon

This pictorial history is only the second of its kind to trace the 30-plus-year history of Amtrak, beginning with a look at the rise and fall of privately run passenger train service followed by a look at Amtrak’s infant stage from 1971 through 1976. Modern and period color photos illustrate such aspects of Amtrak as its motive power, including the high-speed Acela Express; its diverse array of rolling stock and equipment; famous long-distance trains past and present; and short-haul corridors. Hardcover, 160 pages, 10 1/2 x 10 1/2", 150 color photos.
