(filed under: Railroad ) * stock image, actual book may vary Fascinating and colorful history of the construction of the East African Railway, a series of lines that once connected Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania under British rule and which still serve various parts of these countries. The authors provide an objective history of the extraordinary engineering efforts, the economic impact, the African and British personnel involved and the continued utilization and changes through the 1980s. Every aspect of the railway is here -- from the man-eating lions that terrorized the workers to the fine china that once decorated the tables.

Work on as though Heaven were before you and Hell behind you." From a letter written by Central Pacific's Collis P. Huntington to his partner, Leland Stanford, dated June 15, 1868 . It was the dawn of the Gilded Age; it welded the new western United States to the East with twin bands of iron; it opened a path for settlement and exploitation, utterly transforming the West as it sealed the doom of the Plains Indian culture; it was the culmination of the backbreaking work of more than twenty-five thousand laborers; it was, without a doubt, the century's second most transformative chain of events after the Civil War. Empire Express is the story of that gigantic enterprise to build a railroad from the Missouri to the Pacific, which culminated in the driving of the Golden Spike in the Utah desert in 1869 but ended in pervasive national scandals just four years later. It is also about the building of the enterprise known as the United States of America. Spanning three dramatic decades, during which America effectively doubled in size, dreamed of glories upon the world's stage, fought three wars, and began to discover itself, Empire Express reads like a novel--colorful, lively, extremely dramatic--a page-turner, told from the points of view of participants. It draws on original sources as no previous chronicle has done--thousands of pages of handwritten letters, diaries, telegrams, and an array of biographical and historical works. Empire Express is also the first book to treat the building of the railroad in context, intrinsically connected to larger or distant events, part of a much larger, national picture viewed through a clear, discerning wide-angle lens. As with the best of David McCullough's histories of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Panama Canal, Shelby Foote's The Civil War and Stephen Ambrose's Undaunted Courage , Empire Express offers a compelling, personality-filled story of one of America's most triumphant undertakings--history reading at its best. $9.99 Bain, David Haward Empire Express: Building The First Transcontinental Railroad Viking 1999 hardcover.

In putting this volume together, Mr. Beebe has been concerned with two objects - to recapitulate and bring up to date some aspects of railroading, and to venture into other entirely new fields. The text is written throughout with all Mr. Beebe's exciting combination of expert's knowledge and layman's language, so that it presents no difficulties to the technically uninitiated.

(filed under: Railroad ) * stock image, actual book may vary Much as Beebe loved steam, he was well aware of the advent of diesel and this, his third volume on railroading after "High Iron" and "Highliners" , recognizes in detail the spread of the new diesel-electric locomotives. There are discussions of the technical aspects of diesels as well of the streamlined equipment that complemented the new locomotives. Written at a time when diesels and steam shared the rail and crack passenger and freight trains were breaking new records, the book is indeed a wonderful look at the US rail industry in the midst of one of its most important transition periods. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos taken by some of the leading rail photographers of the day. 210 pages.   NEXT 25--> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
