Museum of the American Railroad

An exciting exploration of the facility released by its own curators and historians, this illustrated guide offers a detailed account of the Museum of the American Railroad, established in Dallas in 1963. During its more than half-century lifespan, it has collected an impressive assortment of historic locomotives — including the GG-1 that pulled Robert Kennedy's funeral train and the "Centennial," the world's largest diesel-electric engine — and a notable selection of railcars, documents, and other train-related artifacts. 96 pages, 161 color photos, 6½"x 9¼", softcover.
