    Description

    May 1945 Official Guide Reprint
    This issue of the Official Guide documents the transition between steam and diesel, between heavyweight and streamlined trains. World War II placed extreme demands on America's rail infrastructure and passenger loads were at their highest level since the 1920's. Following the war, the railroad passenger industry began the long slide into years of decline and revenue losses that culminated in "train-offs" and finally Amtrak. Like all of our reprints, the 1945 Guide is printed on high-quality, acid-free paper. The book is 1440 pages, perfect-bound.
    Please note that the pages shown here are not at full resolution or sharpness. The process we used on our books guarantees a book exactly like the orginal Guide, except that the printing is on white paper which won't yellow or degrade over time.
