520 $a"A thoroughly revised and expanded successor to Runte's Trains of Discovery: Western Railroads and the National Parks, the new edition now includes eastern historic sites and parks made possible or influenced by railroads. In addition to western destination, the book describes how railroads made many eastern and southern parks widely accessible for the first time: Niagara Falls, the Hudson River Valley, Allegheny Portage National Historical Site, and Shenandoah, Great Smoky Mountain, and Acadia National Parks. Illustrated with posters, photographs, and other artifacts from the author's private collection, the book will be a sight to behold as well as a wonderful, nostalgic armchair read"--$cProvided by publisher.
