Very interesting history of the Railroad in the U.S. Rambles on somewhat so taking awhile to read. I bought it because while on a train tour the conductor said it had alot of stories and facts of the railroad.

If you even remotely like anything about railroading you will really appreciate this book. Ambrose's research is outstand. Considering the epic job the men that built the transcontinental railroad undertook it is amazing it ever happened especially considering the technology of the day. Ambrose's account of this is truely outstanding, you can almost feel what the men faced as Ambrose's recounts the tail. As a side not there is a great history lesson and a side the you never realized the civil war played in what became the transcontinental railroad.
I would rate this better than excellent if there was such a choice to select.
