Trade ReviewAn incredible wealth of information... a fine addition to library collections that support interests in railroading, transportation issues, post-World War II history, or the midwest region. American Reference Books Annual 2009 Superb series... As in Carpenter's previous editions on the Mid-Atlantic states and New England, the detail in his hand-drawn, exhaustively researched maps is astonishing... This atlas and its companions are excellent snapshots of railroading's 'classic era.' -- Ronald S. McGonigal Classic Trains 2009 A winning reference. Midwest Book Review 2009 Mr. Carpenter's labor of love appeals to railroad professionals, railroad enthusiasts, sociologists, historians, local historians, cartographers, and collectors of unusual maps. The book belongs on your reference shelf. There's nothing else quite like it. -- John Baesch The Portolan 2009 This atlas is a gem, and certainly should be considred for your bookshelf. -- Robert D. Brubaker Keystone 2010
