This irresistible book about trains shows, in photographs in lavish color, the evolution of railways from its beginnings to the present day. And at the end of the book there are the profiles of those great railroad engineers who helped lay the foundation of this transportation system (which is far from being a part of the past; in Europe, Japan, India and China it remains the most used form of transportation). Greatly reccomended for train buffs.

I have been waiting for DK to publish a train book for adults. Ultimate Train is done in classic DK style with lots of pictures and brief, but relevant, text. This book is long-awaited and sure to be a hit with any adult (or child!) train lover.
