William Middleton 312 pages hardcover
In this lavishly illustrated memoir, William D. Middleton invites
readers to climb aboard and share with him 60 years of railroad tourism
around the globe. Middleton's award-winning photography has recorded
events such as the final days of American Civil War locomotives in
Morocco and the start up of the world's first high-speed railway in
Japan. He has photographed such great civil works as Scotland's Firth of
Forth Bridge and the splendid railway station at Haydarpasa on the
Asian side of the Bosporus, while closer to home he has been recognized
for his significant contribution to the photographic interpretation of
North America's railroading history. On Railways Far Away
presents over 200 of Middleton's favorite photographs and the personal
stories behind the images. It is a book that will delight both armchair
travelers and those for whom the railroads still hold romance.
