Collected for your enjoyment on one CD-Rom republication, 14 historical railroading books from 1857 to 1918. Each book covers early railroading construction and design books, loads of vintage railroading photos and illustrations, company reports - thousands of pages of information collected on one CD.
From Wikipedia: The Americans watched closely the development of railways in England. The main competition came from canals, many of which were in operation under state ownership, and from privately owned steamboats plying the nation's vast river system. The state of Massachusetts in 1829 prepared an elaborate plan. However private enterprise built nearly all the country's railroads, using charters from state government that created the business corporation and gave a limited right of eminent domain, allowing the railroad to buy needed land, even if the owner objected. The CD collection covers some of these early obstacles these railroad had to overcome.(Note there is some duplication of book titles between each CD in this series.)
