They played a starring role in some of my earliest and coziest memories. Riding the Amtrak, visiting train museums, and watching hand-painted miniatures meander through paper mache tunnels and quaint, model towns whetted my appetite for adventure. This book serves as a printed memorial of the fantastical places to where my imagination - and trains - would whisk me off."Henry (Trey) Whitesides III
