Tales of the Rails: Legendary Train Routes of the World

72 pp. | Little Gestalten | November, 2020 | Trade ISBN 978-3-89955-845-6 $24.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Ryan Johnson. This survey's descriptions of thirteen rail journeys will inspire both serious railfans and armchair riders, despite somewhat staid illustrations in a subdued palette and a mid-century modern aesthetic. Each route is introduced over two or three double-page spreads, offering a sampling of facts about the type of train, the route, the scenery, the history and culture, and other service-specific information. Fictional riders provide examples of travel experiences. Best for browsing and daydreaming. A world map opens the volume; a glossary is appended.
