All Aboard!
Take a journey through time with realistic illustrations of extraordinary trains from the past, present, and future. Arranged in chronological order, this coloring book takes you on a fascinating ride through a history of trains from the early 1800s to the 21st century. Highlights include:
- Coalbrookdale Locomotive, Stephenson's Rocket, and the Metropolitan Railway in England--groundbreaking trains from the 19th century- EMD F40PH in Panama, transporting tourists between two oceans' coastal cities
- Maharajas' Express in India, offering luxury travel
- Novocherkassk 4ES5K freight train in Siberia, powering through grueling terrain
- Shanghai Maglev in China--the fastest commercial electric train, thanks to magnetic levitation, which means it doesn't have wheels or touch the ground
- L0 Series Maglev in Japan, an even quicker maglev operating in the not-so-distant future
