"
This book is intended to provide as complete a photographic record as possible of the silver services used by over 100 US railroads from the 1880s to the end of such service in 1983 (aboard the Denver & Rio Grande's Silver Banquet). Railroads are covered in alphabetical order from the Alabama & Vicksburg Railway to the World's Fair (1904) Dining Car. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. This is an invaluable guidebook for any serious collector."
