Steam, Steel and Stars: America's Last Steam Railroad

FROM OUR EDITORS

You can almost hear the hisses, clanks, groans, impassioned shrieks, and mournful toots of steam trains in this collection of nostalgic duotone photos of night-time railroad scenes in the '50s. Link's riveting photos not only freeze the energy, beauty, and majestic presence of these great trains in action, but also preserve the look and feel of the period—the drive-in movies, swimming holes, farmhouse front porches—in unprecedented dramatic fashion.

ANNOTATION

95 photographs in duotone offset lithography, 1 map, 144 pages, 11-3/8 x 10-5/8".

FROM THE PUBLISHER

The glorious late years of steam railroading in America—1955 to 1960—are powerfully documented in this captivating book. The 90 riveting photographs by O. Winston Link presented here cover every activity of the Norfolk & Western Railway (now Norfolk Southern) as well as capturing an unequalled picture of rural American life in the 1950s.
