Bog beskrivelse

Missouri Railroads: A Modern Crossroads 1921-2023 delves into the rich history of Missouri''s railroads during their second century. From the roaring 1920s, when opulent "Limited" passenger trains crisscrossed the state, to the tumultuous times of the Great Depression and World War II, this book captures the essence of an era. As the postwar years unfolded, Missouri''s railroads faced realignments and challenges. The mid-twentieth century witnessed shifts in routes, technologies, and passenger preferences. Against this backdrop, the book explores how the railroads adapted in the face of uncertainty. Stunning historical images—over 100 in color—breathe life into this transformative period and bring the story to the present day. Missouri Railroads goes beyond the history of a single state and its railroads to illustrate Missouri''s vital role in shaping American railroading. These railroad companies mirrored national trends, yet each twist and turn carries a distinct local flavor. Authors Don L. Hofsommer and Carlos A. Schwantes weave a captivating narrative that celebrates Missouri''s contribution to the broader American story.
