20th Century Limited by Karl Zimmerman

Generally considered the most famous passenger train ever, the New York-to-Chicago 20th Century Limited was pulled by some of the century's greatest locomotives Commodore Vanderbilt of 1934, Henry Dreyfuss' famous shrouded Hudson, and diesels like Electro-Motive E-units after WW II. This authoritative history from 1902 to its 1967 demise examines the train; its steam, electric, and diesel motive power; and its swank passenger cars, services, and amenities. Dozens of black-and-white archival images and period colour photographs depict the trains, dinnerware and menus, advertisements, route maps, and interior views of cars.
