Come hear local historian Allen Meyers and architectural consultant Joel Spivak speak about Philadelphia's railroads! The two authors collaborated on "Philadelphia Railroads," which was just released by Arcadia Publishing.
From the publisher: "Philadelphia became the railroad capital of the world in the 1830's, when 12 distinct lines operated within a 100-mile radius of the city to carry people and freight. Philadelphia manufactured locomotives, railroad track, and other rail components and exported them around the world. "Philadelphia Railroads" features many unseen images and rare photographs documenting the leaders of Philadelphia's transportation world."
