Description
 
Alabama Railroads is the first extensive history of the state's railway stystem, from the chartering of the Tuscumbia Railway Company in January 1830, to the maturity of the system in the latter half of the 20th century, when Amtrak assumed control of the nation's passenger service. This volume of Alabama's rich rail history traces the development of all the major lines as well as the most prominent shore lines. Along the way we meet the varied cast of colorful characters who pioneered the railway system that serves the state today. Written in nontechnical language with more than 100 rare and vintage illustrations from the 19th and early 20th centuries, Alabama Railroads places Alabama's rail heritage in a national context and allows students of southern history as well as railroad enthusiasts to view this Deep South state from an entirely fresh perspective. Hardcover; Author: Wayne Cline; Publications: The University of Alabama Press
