First published in 1941. Trains in Transition focuses on railroads as they were in the 1930s. The decades from 1920 through 1940 witnessed dramatic changes in the railroad industry. Track, locomotives, cars, traffic control, and equipment reliability were substantially improved. Two decades later dieselization would be complete and the streamliner would be visibly fading, and the decades after that would leave the United States with effectively only four major railroads. Bonanza Books Edition. Hardcover with protected dw. Good condition, spine sunned. Foxing to page block. 210pp. R7-H8ZN-V5EK
