Phillips, Lance Yonder Comes the Train
0498063038 / 9780498063039; This is the story of the iron horse - and some of the roads it travelled. Lance Phillips, himself the son of an engineer and one of those countless American boys who in the still of a far off summer's day would pass away the hours listening to and memorizing the whistle calls of those artists of the plaited cord, here presents an affectionate portrait of the great steam locomotive and some of the American roads over which it pulled its trains. He sketches the history and developments of the steam engine, and traces the introduction of the locomotive to America and chronicles the growth of the early roads laid out to operate between towns, and then of the great lines that headed into and across open country, hoping that the growing population would follow the high iron to new frontiers and opportunities. In one short span of one human lifetime, steam railroads revolutionized American life. 395 pages. Illustrated with over 450 photographs and drawings, it is a book that is factual, fond, and fascinating. Includes an index and bibliography. The binding has some scuffing to the spine end; the jacket has a few tears at the spine end and a 2" tear at the top front, a few tears on the back, and the corners are worn. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
