Listen to the echoes from deep antiquity as you become absorbed in the stories and illustrations of these truly magnificent American railroad stations. Although the focal point for travelers and commerce has shifted to airports and highways, you can relive the gentility of a bygone era when railroads were the center of social activity for their towns. As the author so eloquently says, “We can no longer linger in the waiting room of Pennsylvania Station with Thomas Wolfe but we can linger in Union Station in Washington, D.C., or in Chicago, in Grand Central Terminal, and we can still ‘listen to the city of the moment and hear time itself.’”
