If you have an interest in electrification, William D. Middleton's "When the Steam Railroads Electrified" is a favorite of mine. Originally published by Kalmbach in 1974, a revised edition which updates the story of electric railroading to Amtrak's Acela has been released by Indiana University Press:

At almost 500 pages, this one will keep you busy for awhile.
Regards,
