The authors here provide a brief synopsis of each railroad system, tracing the growth and transition of each.

This book is good for someone that is wanting to learn alot about Indiana Railroads, and their historical value. If your into railroads, this is a must have coffee table book. Some small errors in it, but for a book of this scale, it is great, and very profesionally done.

Very complete for a one volume history. If Indiana railroads are an interest, this is the starting book.
