Trains: A Complete History

Immerse yourself in railroad history all the livelong day!

An icon of the Industrial Revolution, railroads were essential to the progress of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Todayâ€™s trains travel at speeds up to 268 miles per hour, and the limits continue to be pushed.Â

Â

Trains: A Complete History provides an excellent overview of the train models that were groundbreaking in their respective eras. The scope of progress comes to life on these pagesâ€”from the 1830 Best Friend of Charleston, whose passengers were to said to have traveled â€œon the wings of the windâ€ at a whopping top speed of twenty-five miles per hour, to the 2012 hybrid-powered Japan Railway HD300, which uses 36 percent less fuel than traditional trains and travels at speeds up to seventy miles per hour.

Â

Complete with a detachable collection of press-out model train pieces, Trains: A Complete History is the two-in-one book that will have train enthusiasts young and old tooting their horns and hollering, â€œAll aboard!â€
