It's about the journey, not the destination. "All Aboard"--first published in 1995, and here completely revised and updated--is much more than just a mile-by-mile scenery guide for train travelers. Written both for veteran train travelers and those considering their first rail journey, it will make any trip smoother and more enjoyable with its insightful travel trips and information about how railroads operate. With trains attracting new riders in record numbers because of the economy, the price of gasoline, and the delays and crowding that are now the norm when traveling by air, the time is perfect for a new edition of "All Aboard." Here you can learn how and why the first railroads came about, the building of America's trans-continental railroad, and how individual trains are operated.

"All Aboard" is the ultimate guide to American train travel and its unique history and culture.
