Complete with the itineraries, crews and equipment for presidents up to Bill Clinton, author Bob Withers gives readers a snapshot of what it was like to travel by train as a president. From the details of Abraham Lincoln's funeral train to the specifications of Franklin Roosevelt's bulletproof railcar, this book will appeal to railroad enthusiasts and history buffs alike.Many rare photographs of the golden age of presidential travel under Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman in the 1930s and '40s supplement this remarkably wellresearched text.
