Streamliners: A History of the Railroad Icon

by Mike Schafer, Joe Welsh (Creator)

Travel back in time to witness the dynamic trains that reigned supreme from the 1930s through the 1950s. The great streamliners of yesteryear are brought to life: Santa Fe's Chiefs, Rock Island's Rockets, and Union Pacific's City of Salina pop from the pages in lavish color. Original brochures, time tables and dining car menus, plus coverage of development, interior design, rolling stock and operations deliver a striking tribute to these magnificent passenger trains. **Published previously as Classic American Streamliners under item number 125090 as a hardcover edition**
