Famous Name Trains: Traveling in Style with the CPR - By David Laurence Jones

David Laurence Jones describes both the practical interiors of the early colonist cars, with their wooden bench seats and communal sleeping arrangements, and the luxury of the high-end cars that looked and felt like rolling men's clubs. He tracks the evolution of the passenger train, paying particular attention to the virtues of the elegant dining cars and gastronomic delights on the name trains.
