[no significant wear to book, but a former owner's initials plus date & place of purchase written along edge of rear pastedown (concealed beneath rear jacket flap); the jacket itself is flawless except for a couple of diagonal scratch lines on the rear panel]. (MBI Railroad Color History) Series (B&W and color photos, facsimiles, maps) "In 1999, Brian Solomon wrote a definitive history of the New York Central. Since then he has collected 150 vintage black-and-white and color photographs, timetables, and postcards not included in the previous volume to take readers on a rail journey from the 1800s to present. Through fabulous imagery, four specially commissioned maps, and his authoritative text, Solomon shows why the Central was a classic in every sense, growing under the firm direction of rail baron Cornelius 'Commodore' Vanderbilt. From 1902 to 1967, the New York Central operated the most famous passenger train in the world: the esteemed Twentieth Century Limited." (In response to which the Orient Express might have a thing or two to say.)
