This book recounts the decline of many of the steel roads that once tied cities and villages together in economic prosperity. Using photos, text and maps, railroad historians Michael M. Bartels and James J. Reisdorff examine both the history and impact of railroad abandonments on agriculture-oriented Nebraska. An inventory is made of the corporate giants, short lines, Interurbans, and industrial spurs that were all part of the state's one-time rail network of about 6,250 miles. There is also a look at current efforts to maintain rail freight service to many towns. Finally, the book illustrates what historic artifacts have been preserved-and lost-along the abandoned grades of Nebraska's ghost railroads. Pictures in this book cover all eras of Nebraska railroading, from the early steam engine days to today's Shortlines. Retail $ 24.95.
