"This Train is Bound for Glory" The story of Chapel Cars in America.
"Set Up Running" The life of a PRR engineer.
Both good reads when you want something different.
Another excellent book is "By The El - Third Avenue and it's El at mid-century". A 1950's color journey on the NYC Third Avenue El from City hall uptown to 125th st (The Bronx in the latest reprint). Spetacular LIFE magazine quality color photography of the circa 1878 Third Avenue El in it's final year. Period cars, ads and people at their finest. Ejoyable even by country folk like me.
