Infos

This bundle collects four of Ron Brown’s acclaimed railway histories. In each book he takes us back to the glory days of steam, when the railway was the economic and in many ways the social heart of Canada, as it grew from ocean to ocean in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

---

Ron Brown is Canada's leading literary authority on the history of Canada's railroads, particularly those now-lost branches from the golden age of steam that once ran like veins and arteries throughout the country. This special four-book bundle collects several of his titles, including: the poignant The Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore, an examination of the railroad's impact on communities - when it leaves town as well; Rails Across Ontario and Rails Across the Prairies, which trace the development of rail across the country and its economic and social impact; and In Search of the Grand Trunk, which takes a close look at Ontario's railway heritage in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Brown's books are entertaining but also meticulously researched. This bundle is a treasure trove for the railway enthusiast. Includes: In Search of the Grand Trunk Rails Across Ontario Rails Across the Prairies The Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore
