<p>This classic study of railroad stations, large and small, is once again available through a modern  Kalmbach reprint. Invaluable for the railroad historian, the student of architecture and the transit planner (who might find the beauty in its pages worth replicating), the book examines every aspect of the design, construction, maintenance and utilization of railroad terminals. Chapters cover, among other topics, different types of stations (through, side, head, stub and small), waterfront terminals, the passenger terminals of New York City, terminals in foreign countries, terminal operation (including baggage handling, food service, and the role of the station master), and electrification. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos (some of heartbreaking loss, such as Penn Station) as well as blueprints and schematic diagrams (some folding out) of stations, train sheds and train yards. 410 pages.</p>
