Ghost Railroads of Kansas book contains brief histories of the many railroads that operated in Kansas. The book has been updated since it was first released in 1997. Railroads of every size constructed lines across the Sunflower State. There were giants like the Missouri Pacific; gnats like the Marion Belt & Chingawassa Springs; and ill-fated roads such as the Kansas City, Mexico, & Orient. The state was also dotted by interurban railroads, from the Union Electric, with long lines that served many communities, to the two-mile Consolidated Railway in Chase County. Railroads continue to influence Kanas, whether it's Burlington Northern Santa Fe, the Cimarron Valley short line, or excursion services like the Abilene & Smoky Valley. The new Ghost Railroads of Kansas features maps to show where lines went and new photographs, many by the author.
