I'd recommend a book that no serious railfan should be without; "All Aboard with E.M. Frimbo" by Rogers E.M. Whitaker and Tony Hiss. I picked up my copy on Amazon about three years ago.

E.M. Frimbo (the self styled World's Greatest Railroad Buff) was the alter-ego of longtime The New Yorker writer, Rogers E. M. Whitaker. It is a series of short stories drawn from his New Yorker columns about railroads and train travel both in the United States and internationally. The stories share some interesting history and a number of them are also quite humorous. All in all, it is a great book for anyone who likes trains and can be read again and again.

Curt,

Now that book sounds fantastic. I'll be sticking that one on my shopping list for sure. Thanks for the tip!
