Rails Across North America : A Pictorial Journey Across the USA

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.

The number and variety of these railway operations is both colourful and interesting. In addition to the major mainline companies, there are numerous short line and industrial concerns who run equally interesting train operations.

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.
