railroads have played an important and inseperable part in the city's economy
and its sense of who it was. This is the story of railroads and railroading

OMAHA ROAD: The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha
By Stan Mailer. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway was
part and parcel of Chicago & North Western's midwest empire. The Omaha
Road had its origins in the West Wisconsin Railway, begun at Tomah, Wisconsin,
at that time a springboard community to the Northwest after the Civil War.
In retrospect, the ten-mile pioneering Tomah-Warren's Mills stretch proved
to be a difficult problem solved by legal action. The contemporary Omaha,
at least in the steam era, ran modest trains and, in the end, carried pulpwood
logs.

PASSION FOR TRAINS: The Railroad Photography of
Richard Steinheimer

and documented the railroad's heyday and its decline. He is one of very few

for the landscape of the American West, and many of his images situate trains
in the larger geography and culture of the time. Known for taking pictures
at night, in bad weather, and from risky perches atop moving train platforms,
Steinheimer has an enormous creativity and productivity. This is the first
full-length celebration of his work.

PENN CENTRAL RAILROAD COLOR HISTORY
By Peter E. Lynch. Formed February 1, 1968, by the merger of the New York
Central and the Pennsylvania railroads, Penn Central filed for bankruptcy
less than three years later. Nevertheless, it would limp along until 1976,
when President Gerald Ford signed the Railroad Revitalization and Regional
Reform Act, creating Conrail and effectively merging the Northeast's struggling
railroads. This colorful history takes a region-by-region look at the ill-fated
Penn Central, a sprawling railroad that operated on more than 20,000 miles
of (often crumbling) trackage in 16 states and two Canadian provinces, and
which, prior to Amtrak, claimed 35 percent of the nation's passenger rail
business.
