Full-color photos trace the history, and development, of locomotives and railroads-- This format captures the flavor and spirit of it all, from the engineering feats of the TGV Trains to the opulence of train travel. This little book about trains is sure to touch the hearts of young and old alike. Kids of all ages will take great pleasure in pouring over the thrilling pictures and interesting information about the many different kinds of passenger and freight trains there really are; from the Diesel -Electric Locomotive to the Gondola's & Refigerator cars. My grandaughter especially liked the French "Oranges" because of the bright orange color; but I was most impressed with the Japanese Shinkansen. IT is filled with easy-to-read facts and realistic pictures, just right for young train lovers.
