Rail and travel buffs will find this a 'must' reference, May 26 2006
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Empire State Railway Museum's Tourist Trains: 41st Annual Guide to Tourist Railroads and Museums (Paperback)
Over 600 railroad-related attractions the general public can visit are packed into a listing guide which blends in photos and practical info such as hours, fees and directions - but wait, there's more! Don't forget the coupons for discounts on ticket prices --for avid train buffs, worth the price of the book itself - plus maps, photos, 'editor's choice' listings of special recommendations, and details on what kinds of trains may be found at each location. Rail and travel buffs will find this a 'must' reference.

By Bomojaz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Empire State Railway Museum's Tourist Trains: 41st Annual Guide to Tourist Railroads and Museums (Paperback)
This, the 41st Edition (2006) of the best guide to railroading, continues the tradition of this great annual series listing and outlining hundreds of railroad museums and tourist trains across the US and Canada. Arranged by state, each site features a photo, a description of what's there, a schedule, the admission fees, special events, and directions on how to get to it. Contact information (addresses, phone numbers, email/internet info) is also provided. And, as usual, there are about a hundred discount coupons enclosed. Anyone interested in railroading or who plans on taking a vacation trip that might include visits to railroad sites or museums will find this guide indispensable.

Best train tourguide ever, Jan 13 2012
By Ron P - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Empire State Railway Museum's Tourist Trains: 41st Annual Guide to Tourist Railroads and Museums (Paperback)
This book has been an evolution of change culminating on the best, most compact and informative book for full scale train enthusiast locations ever. On a single page you can find the location of the site, the rolling stock, a rating (average, or Editors's Choice), what amenities are available, etc., etc. On the first page of any given state, there is a map of that state an where the relative sites are. This latter is especially helpful when you want to visit a site and later realize that there was another interesting site just a while away from the first site you went to. Great book. I wish the group would continue to publish new editions.
