Ghost Railroads of Kentucky - Tapa dura

First published in 1967, "Ghost Railroads of Kentucky" and its sister volumes "Ghost Railroads of Indiana" (1970) and "Ghost Railroads of Tennessee" (1975) provide the authoritative account of the lines, lore, and legends in the railroad heartland east of the Mississippi. With endpaper maps of Kentucky showing all the lines and keyed to the text Professor Sulzer has produced the essential reference work for those interested in railroading in the Bluegrass state.Fans may be surprised to learn, for instance, that Kentucky has boasted 28 narrow guage railroads, or that Louisville even had a narrow gauge commuter line. He tells this and all the other wonderful Kentucky railroad stories with sparkling anecdotes, painstaking research and hundreds of photographs, charts, and maps. In addition there are five full color illustrations by Norman C. Miller, Jr painted especially for this volume. Based on thousands of interviews, and meticulous original scholarship "Ghost Railroads of Kentucky" is essential for the historian, hobbiest, and buff; in short, for anyone interested in Kentucky's place in rail history. As a genuine Kentucky Colonel, Professor Sulzer is the person to tell the story.
