Description: I have the best selection of books on E BAY . See all the books I have listed on Trains and railroading . You are bidding on a used hard cover book with dust cover called TRAIN WRECKS : A Pictorial History of Accidents on the Main Line by Robert Carroll Reed . This is 9" x 11" with 183 pages from 1968 . American railroad history is filled with accounts of misadventure. Steam boilers blew up. Bridges collapsed under the weight of heavy engines. Locomotives crashed head-on because of signal failures. Passenger cars derailed, often with dire results. Lightly built wooden coaches splintered on impact, and the debris often ignited from the coals in the iron stoves used for heating. In the mid-nineteenth century American railroading was burgeoning--a growth too fast for safe operations. Despite the grim statistics of 19th and early 20th century train wrecks that resulted ,one cannot help but find the photographs and public prints of the day interesting. When you pick up this wondrous book, you will have a hard time putting it down . Loaded with 100's of B+W photos. This is in very good condition , new looking but has an inscription . International customers , please write for shipping costs . See my store for all of my other railroad items for sale . I add new items every day and combine shipping whenever possible .
