[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] As long as we're all going to bookstores, I thought I would mention one I received for Christmas. Published in 2009 by Time Out Guides, LTD (U.K.) the Great Train Journerys of the World is an armchair travelers delight. While it does not pretend to be a significant literary work, it seems well written for this type of book. It's worth checking out. I'm currently reading a section called Border Busters, with the current story about the Bernina Express in Switzerland. Another one that does have some literary merit was written by Louis D, Rubin, Jr (retired Distinguished Professor of English from UNC at Chapel Hill and founder of Algonquin Books). The book is called 'A Memory of Trains - the Boll Weevil and Others'. It is quite short but also contains some excellent photos from the transition era. A Charleston, SC native, Rubin tells of his early years as a reporter and pursuit of his fascination with trains. Great tales primarily of the SAL, Southern and his days as a grad student at Johns Hopkins with northeast RR stories. [/QB][/QUOTE]
