The railways of the USA have a great following, not only in the United States (where there are large numbers of rail fans) but also increasingly in Europe, where there are enthusiasts who regularly visit and model North American railroads.

David Cable has visited the USA on fourteen occasions and has travelled extensively across most of the states, photographing railroads of every shape and size.
