About This Item
MBI Publishing Company, 2001. Paperback. VERY GOOD . Unusual and fascinating look at the elite group of railway maintenance workers and the highly specialized machinery they employ to keep the tracks clear and safe. From defect-detection cars, to tie cranes, spike pullers, doodlebugs, rail grinders, rotary plows and more -- this behind-the-scenes look at the railways is great stuff for railroad buffs or for the just plain curious. TONS of photographs. One big bump in back, runs through the last sixty pages, but doesn't at all interfere with enjoyment or aesthetics of the book.
