Heavy Metal: the Essential Bibliography of American Railroading (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419687334)

Now, for the first time, researchers of American railroads have a comprehensive bibliography to assist them with their needs. With over 9,000 indexed book entries, HEAVY METAL offers material on individual railroads and into the character of railroading itself. Some idea of its depth can be gained from the number of titles for selected subjects: steam locomotives (1,200), freight cars (520), Pennsylvania RR (290), electric railroads (155), Stations (140), Southern Pacific (110). It covers the range of subjects that this great transportation enterprise entails: engineering, laws and legislation, technology, safety, biography, statistics, and much more.
