Book Description:
Analyzing the origins, growth, and eventual dismantling of the Iowa Central Railway, Don L. Hofsommer examines how this “plain vanilla” railway was an example of the life cycle of the American railroad industry. Drawing the story from station records, annual reports, newspaper articles, and interviews with former employees, The Hook & Eye brings the industry and human sides of railroading into view._x000B_
