This incredibly easy-to-read work, with dozens of never- before-published photographs, traces the 140-year rise and fall and rise again of this tenacious railway. Charting the ups and downs of the line's construction-the politics, squabbling, triumphs, and failures-the author provides a microcosmic overview of American railroading in this story of a single line. Life on the railroad through the Great Depression, World War II, dieselization, and ab-sorption by Southern Railway are explored, punc-tuated by the real-life experiences of old-timers. Nearly 200 maps and photographs complement the text. Together they deliver an inspiring, historical tale of the Carolina & North-Western.
