Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"This book is first rate in all respects and adds new dimension to the M&StL story."—The Michigan Railfan

"It is a wonderful memory album whose images capture the history and the spirit of a struggling little railroad that fought hard, but lost."—Trains

"Rich in illustrations, this is not just a chronicle of a railroad but also a story and a record of a way of life in the rural upper Midwest."—National Model Railroad Association Magazine

"Will appeal to multiple audiences. For some, this photographic essay will provide the means for taking a virtual journey, back to an era when American railroads—passengers and freight—dominated transportation. . . . For others, the illustrations will provide a visual record of the onset and maturation of American industrialization, of which railroads were a key component."—North Dakota History

"The book is a treasure for anyone — you don’t have to be a fan of the M&StL — who relishes good photographs and the drama and atmosphere of midwestern railroading."—The Annals of Iowa

"You will enjoy the book."—Plasticville Collectors Association Newsletter
