Starlight on the Rails ^{Top 20!} ^{ed pick}
Author: Jeff Brouws, Richard Steinheimer (Introduction), Ed Delvers
Publisher: Harry N Abrams

The years between the end of World War II and the mid-1960s saw a flowering of railroad photography in America. Photographers vied with one another to find archetypal railroad scenes that they recorded with novelistic precision. The most demanding technical efforts, however, were devoted to capturing the railroads at night. Here, in a stylish and moving book, are the last great steam engines, lonely motormen, silent stations, and more, all evoking the spirit of night railroading-as quintessentially American as cool jazz-in its glory days.
