I like Lucius Beebe's HIGHBALL (illustrated trains from B&W era). Don't think that Americans write the way Beebe did, because he had his own (rather bizarre) prose style, but the pictures are wonderful and the love of trains is heartfelt. <br /> <br />Thanks to Alibris, mountains of books previously difficult or impossible to find can be ordered. I love the days when RR's had their own way of doing things, their own diners and food, but nostalgia can get a little too dominant--especially in the twilight of rail service pre-Amtrak (May 1971). Try Peter Lyon's TO HELL IN A DAY COACH: AN EXASPERATED VIEW OF AMERICA'S RAILROADS. I think it is from 1967; if not, 1968.
