A Railroad Atlas of the United States in 1946: Volume 4: Illinois, Wisconsin, and Upper Michigan (Creating the North American Landscape)
I have never seen such complete coverage of railroads in any single document.(Richard B. Hasselman, Senior Vice-President of Operations, Conrail (retired))This will be the finest railroad atlas ever published.(John C. Hudson, Northwestern University)The book is first and foremost a geography book that can appeal to a wider audience than the railroad historian. If you know the earlier volumes, you know that this book will bring the full measure of satisfaction brought by those earlier volumes.(John BaeschThe Portolan)Carpenter continues his admirable effort to map American railroads in the immediate postwar era... Carpenter is to be commended for his efforts. The work is meticulous, the maps are clear and beautifully reproduced, and the resulting volume is a genuine research tool as opposed to a simple picture book.(Matthew G. AndersonRailroad History)
