Stover. 2nd ed. Chicago, Ill. : University of Chicago Press, 1997. 1 online resource (xviii, 306 p.) : ill., maps. The Chicago history of American civilization 20998 Includes bibliographical references (p. 273-286) and index. Few scenes capture the American experience so eloquently as that of a lonely train chugging across the vastness of the Great Plains, or snaking through tortuous high mountain passes. Although this vision was eclipsed for a time by the rise of air travel and trucking, railroads have enjoyed a rebirth in recent years as profitable freight carriers. A fascinating account of the rise, decline, and rebirth of railroads in the United States, John F. Stover's American Railroads traces their history from the first lines that helped eastern seaports capture western markets to today's newly revitalized.
