Railroad Station gives us an excellent study which adds greatly to our knowledge and understanding of the development of architecture during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries....the author has analysed, and lucidly interpreted the evolution of one of the most characteristic building types of the century between 1830 and 1930. ... The author recaptures for us much of much of the mid-Victorian enthusiasm for the new institution which applied a burgeoning technology to the realization of an age old dream of speed.
An excellent account of Rail Station development in the USA. An essential read for those studying the history of Railway architecture
