Steam, Steel and Stars: America's Last Steam Railroad FROM OUR EDITORS
You can almost hear the hisses, clanks, groans, impassioned shrieks, and mournful toots of steam trains in this collection of nostalgic duotone photos of night-time railroad scenes in the '50s. Link's riveting photos not only freeze the energy, beauty, and majestic presence of these great trains in action, but also preserve the look and feel of the period—the drive-in movies, swimming holes, farmhouse front porches—in unprecedented dramatic fashion.
