Pennsylvania Railroad in Indiana : Railroads Past and Present
Author: William J. Watt
Publisher: Indiana Univ Pr

The Pennsylvania Railroad's 'keystone' was once one of America's most widely recognized corporate logos. The company's sleek trains attracted discriminating travelers during the golden age of rail passenger service. An economic powerhouse, which for years qualified as the nation's largest industrial employer, the Pennsy set the pace in freight tonnage, ridership, excellence of service, and fast schedules for its famous passenger runs.

The book traces the company's impact on Indiana's economy, the railroad's contributions to the Allied victory in World War II, and the postwar decline, which led to merger into Penn Central. Wonderful photographs, advertising and promotional materials, and detailed maps recreate the allure of the Pennsy's speedy passenger trains and the efficiency of its heavy-tonnage freights. The book provides ample evidence for the Pennsylvania line's famous slogan?'The Standard Railroad of the World.'

Portrait of the Alaska Railroad
Author: Ray Corral (Photographer), Kaylene Johnson
Publisher: Alaska Northwest Books; (May 2003)

In July 1923, President Warren G. Harding visited Alaska to drive in the Golden Spike commemorating the grand opening of the new, federally funded railroad linking Seward with Fairbanks. The Government Railroad had taken eight years and the influence of three U.S. presidents to complete. Shortly afterward, it was renamed the Alaska Railroad.

In the eighty-plus years since then, America's northernmost railroad has remained a critical transportation link, a working train as well as a touring train that wends through some of the most fabulous country in the nation. Resplendent in blue and gold, the engines and cars of the Alaska Railroad remain disconnected from other rail lines, set apart on a track that travels north through the wilderness to a dead-end near Fairbanks, and south to a dead-end at the seaport of Seward. But, oh, what beauty lies between.

In this lavishly illustrated and authoritative book, the Alaska Railroad rides in the spotlight. Through words and color-rich photos, Johnson and Corral offer an entertaining history of the railroad, the routes, the engines and railcars, the landscape and wildlife, and much more.
