Milton Meltzer
Hear that Train Whistle Blow! How the Railroad Changed the World
Library Binding
(Random House Books for Young Readers Oct. 26, 2004)
From the very first passenger train to roll down the tracks in 1825 to the advent of today’s high-speed trains, the railroad has been and is still one of the most vital forces in civilization. Focusing on American railroad history but touching on other countries, award-winning author Milton Meltzer shows how something as ubiquitous as the railroad is, in fact, a force that changed the world.
