(3) 4-6 Curlee begins with an anecdote about how railroads shaped his North Carolina home town. The text then proceeds to give a narrative history of trains, from the development of the steam engine in England to the laying of tracks across America and around the world. Dramatic acrylic illustrations in Curlee's recognizable style effectively show changes from the Industrial Revolution through today. Bib.
