{"product_id":"9780875801568","title":"We Took the Train","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this illustrated collection, H. Roger Grant, one of America's leading railroad historians, brings together a rich assortment of personal accounts of train travel in the United States since the dawn of railroading. The twenty-one accounts included here tell of the excitement, the romance, the difficulties, and sometimes the danger of traveling by train. Together they present a lively picture of the great changes that have taken place since the 1830s. Some describe wild rides on high-speed raceways, while others recount arduous trips on rickety branch lines. Rail travel at its most luxurious is recreated-the elegant Pullman sleeping berths, the fine parlor and observation cars-as are some of the more grim journeys of troops, itinerant workers, and prisoners of war in squalid boxcars. Binding these accounts together is an enduring fascination with the rails.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382755975247,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":928.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9780875801568","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
